What is the duration recommended for a practice session for adults vs juniors?

• A. 1-2 hours for adults, 1 hour or less for juniors
• B. 30-60 minutes for both
• C. 2-3 hours for adults, 1-2 hours for juniors
• D. 45-60 minutes for both

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is tailoring practice session length to age and endurance. Adults can sustain longer, focused practice blocks, so about 1 to 2 hours gives enough repetitions, drills, and variability without excessive fatigue. Juniors typically have shorter attention spans and developing endurance, so about 60 minutes or less keeps them engaged, allows for breaks, and helps prevent fatigue or overuse injuries. The other options either shorten adult practice too much or extend junior practice too long, which isn’t ideal for learning and safety.
