Longer practices don’t automatically lead to better results—especially in tee ball and early youth sports.
In this short commentary, Marty Schupak explains why extended practices often reduce focus, enthusiasm, and learning for young athletes. Drawing on over 30 years of youth sports coaching experience, he breaks down the difference between activity and accomplishment, and why planning, efficiency, and age-appropriate structure matter far more than time spent on the field.
The episode focuses primarily on tee ball, while also touching on how the same principles apply to older youth players. Coaches and parents will hear practical insights on ideal practice length, common mistakes that lead to burnout, and how shorter, intentional practices can help kids enjoy the game and want to keep playing.
This episode is designed for volunteer coaches, sports parents, and anyone interested in creating positive youth sports experiences without unnecessary pressure or overtraining.
