I have to piggy back on what Rich said. A few years ago I would work every Friday and Saturday during the football season and I thought that was rather long. I would work 18 varsity dates (mostly double headers) and I would be exhausted after each weekend. The last couple of years I am lucky to work 2 Saturdays and that is just fine for me. Now the playoffs are coming and I have likely only 3 more weeks left (hopefully 1 after that
) and that is more than enough. I am finally trying to work some college football and I was working about 3 weeks of JV games that was a lot of fun, but the games were very close to my house.
Working football in my opinion takes a lot out of you in one setting (more than my other sports if you ask me). Probably the only thing that rivals this is when you are working the plate during a baseball game in the hot sun. But you do not work the plate every game so working baseball can be not as physically demanding quite a bit of the time. When you work multiple sports you are really trying to pace yourself so that you do not go crazy or drive the people you live with crazy because you are always gone.
