Ned,
We start football practice August 1. We practice 2 times a week plus some Saturdays early in the season. Youth Football Season concludes end of October, with a possible extra week the first weekend in November. Total 3 months plus a week.
Wrestling we practice 3 times a week and begin Mid November and conclude end of March, with a possible extra week(Nationals) in April. 4-1/2 months plus a week.
Just for comparison.
Jeff
