Thoughts on playing school soccer and club soccer?

My daughter plays on a 2013-14 ECNL-RL club that practices 3 nights per week. They also offer optional supplemental programs i.e. CoreFit that may add a fourth night for a good portion of the season, and weekend games and tournaments of course.

The club would prefer that players don’t also play on the middle school team, but don’t prohibit it either. Several of the players are talking about doing both, and my daughter has expressed interest in doing it as well. The school team practices five days a week and seems to have a lot of games on the schedule. We already discussed our situation with the school coach and told her that club would take priority, and the school is fine with that.

Looking for opinions on if this is too much soccer for a 12 year old, and feedback from whoever else does it. Thanks
