🌴 Free days

Days with nothing on the calendar — breathing room.

13 free days this summer
3 days (Aug 1–Aug 3) longest stretch
Next open days:
none — every remaining day has something!
🛡️ Protect the 3 days (Aug 1–Aug 3) stretch — it's the family's longest breather. Guidelines recommend at least 2 days off a week from training; try not to book into it.

💪 Load & recovery

Weekly activity hours per kid vs. their age (the youth-load ceiling). Tight days = an early morning and a late night for the same kid.

🥍 Reid (13)7 h/wk⚠️ 2 tight days
🥍 Evelyn (13)6 h/wk⚠️ 4 tight days
⚾ David (11)6 h/wk⚠️ 1 tight day
🎭 Charlie (9)2 h/wk—

Everyone's under the guideline — nice.
