With a son who plays D3, I'd suggest that the time commitment is very significant and not that much less than a D1 player.

In season, it is 4-5 hours of practice Tuesday-Friday and then games Saturday and Sunday. On the field Saturday from 8 until 6 and then Sunday 8 until 3. Total of around 35 hours - not counting unofficial time like weights. Mid week games and travel add additional time.

What I have heard from D1 parents is that typical time is 40-45 hours a week in season.

For another take on the time commitment, see J H's excellent thread here:
