Class 10 starts in June and our son wants to keep all three football evenings

He plays for a club on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday evenings, two hours each, and it's the only time he's off a screen without being asked. The school has already sent a note asking class 10 students to 'reprioritise' extracurriculars, and two of his friends have quit. My partner thinks one evening is enough this year. I think football is the reason he's been in a decent mood for the last six months. He says he'll study on the other evenings, and I believe he means it, in May. Did anyone keep a sport going through class 10, and how did it hold up after the half-yearlies?
