No wonder china and india are kicking our asses in education, kids get up at 5:30am to run around cones instead of reviewing their home work to make sure they get and A for the last nights assignment
The problem was last years schedule everything was done after school (their 6th period) from 2:30 to about 6:00 then as the season drew closer it went until 7 into the season, weight training, conditioning and practice were concurrent, by the time they got home they were dead and falling asleep while trying to finish homework, study, etc.
This schedule is practical in the sense that weight room and field work is all done in the morning and until actual football practice starts, they're home early, eat, a couple of hours of HW and in bed by 9pm or so. Once they get used to it, it's a much easier schedule and more productive all the way around.
