Subject: If in middle or high, how many sports did your child do?
Mine are in college now, but in HS:
DS1 Travel baseball year round, basketball/wrestling (switched mis HS), HS baseball
DS2 Travel baseball year round, football, wrestling, HS baseball
Travel baseball was lower key in fall, went into conditioning in the winter, on pause during HS season and then full on travel once the HS season was over. Both were recruited for college.

Baseball, ultimate frisbee and dive team through high school. Fortunately (?), our kid never wanted to make commitment to compete at higher levels. The youth sports industrial complex is a mega billion dollar business that offends me on several levels.

DS in MS: three school sports (every day after school fall, winter, spring) plus one club sport (evening practices 2x week + weekend games and local tournaments). Rec sport (basketball) in winter, sometimes additional rec type sport (flag) in the fall.
DS in HS: XC plus same club sport with same commitment. Very very difficult to maintain higher level training requirements, practice lengths/schedule, and overall wear and tear on the body. Has not been able to do supplemental training for club sport. Add in juggling with homework. I think this is the last year (sophomore) he’ll be able to do both.

Yes. They may have to miss a practice or meet here or there, but should be able to do 90%.

Fall and Spring, travel soccer. Fall he also does school soccer. Spring he does track but does more field events. Winter he does flag football but it's more of a social thing than a workout.

Middle or High?
Which teams did they participate in?
Why the restriction to actual teams? A lot of sporty kids prefer individual sports. Lots of kids ski, snowboard, rock climb, bike, do archery etc. but very hard to form a team to compete if you're into that stuff. You mostly just do it with your friends and family.

OP may be curious about scheduling/ logistical challenges, which are likely less of an issue with stuff you do on your own.
