On: The impact of school shutdown on sleep in adolescents: a natural experiment

Based on the wording of the post, I'm ~95% sure they meant exclusively football, baseball, and basketball.

Those can be done the same way.

They can, but in my experience (especially at small rural schools), the sports I was talking about get the "good" practice times (after school).

Any other sport gets... whatever doesn't conflict with those.

I mean.. swimming didn't conflict with any other sport but diving, and swimming got precedence. We practiced in the morning because it was a good time for it.

I meant conflict with staff time.

At small schools, you're probably going to only have 1-3 members of staff qualified to train students (qualified is a very loose term here).

I suppose I could be mistaken about staffing conflicts. My small school didn't have a pool, so there really wasn't anything resembling any sort of water based sports (unless you just wanted to swim in a lake).
