And after school is literally the most convenient time to practice for everyone involved including coaches, parents, and students due to the peculiarities of American living. When I was in school around half of American school children played some kind of organized sport and most probably got the same night's sleep as the other half that didn't. At the collegiate level they do what you suggest and often have two practices a day in the morning and evening for the biggest sports.
For high school football players it's basically practice Monday-Thursday then game on Friday. For basketball players it's basically any day during the week that they don't have a game. I was in marching band and we practiced after school every day.
Besides I thought we weren't calling it Asperger's anymore
