The coach was only allowed to keep them for a full hour, except if it were an official game. The academy was still the academy after all, they needed the kids to have enough time for their homeworks and projects.

"Now, don't forget to hit the showers. You don't want all that sweat to be sticky, making you dirty and cold. Dismissed."
