We play Sundays so Fri is a go for us . We go tues,thurs,fri and a lite walk through saturday. I know we have had good results with this approach .

We practice Mon,Tues,Thurs I work them pretty hard those 3 days and feel they can use the rest more than having a fri practice will accomplish. I also use thursday for mostly special teams and a walk through. We try to have the kids watch game film from our last game on fridays if possible at home with thier parents. I want to try and have a game film night but with only having 3 practices a week we really don’t have time.

We go Monday, Tuesday the Thursday. We don’t think there is much of a drop off in having a few days off before the game. We play on Sundays.

We don’t like practicing on Wednesdays, many kids here have church activities that night, we don’t practice on Fridays because of High School football and we don’t like practicing on Saturdays becuase many around here start their Husker college football day fairly early.

We only go 2 hours. Our competition often practices 5 days a week, but it hasnt hurt us much, 78-5 last 8 seasons going this route, with happy parents. After the first game we only practice on Mondays and Thursdays.
