Ever heard of field hockey two-a-days?

Question

Ok so tell me if this sounds absolutely crazy:

It's field hockey preseason and practice is 3-6 every day except tuesdays, where it's 9-12, then 1-4. thats 6 hours!!!!!!! omg. is that even legal?

Anyone else who plays field hockey: have you ever had practice for this long?

BTW: my coach only gave us one water break in the first 3 hours.

Answer 1

I count only 6 hours, and last i checked two days were 48 hours, yes thats perfectly legal, and six hours shouldnt be bad if you truley love the sport

Answer 2

I used to play soccer and that is not uncommon.  We had 2 days a week of two, 3 hour practices and then the rest of the days were 4 hour practices.  Consider yourself lucky.  It isn't illegal and in the long run it will help you out a lot!
