My daughter had regular practice the Saturday before Christmas, then she has 4 hour practices weds, thurs, fri and sat. We are off for New Years and then 4 hour practices through Sat next week. We are just starting our season, we have only had one meet so far, her next meet is the second weekend in January. Then it's a meet every other week till March when we have states.
The thing that she and I both love is that during break all practices are during the day while I work, leaving our evenings to us! Of course that only means that we have time to watch my younger daughter play basketball, there is no such thing as rest during the holidays!
