This differs by sport. You have two seasons, in one season there is a lot of focus on sports. You are on the road a lot for your sport and have less free time. You are constantly busy with sports and studies. In the other season you don’t have official matches, but you still have practice matches. You are still a lot busy with kind but now you also have more free time for some hours to work, do fun things, trips but also more time for your studies. The ‘fall’ semester normally begins in late August or early September and ends in mid-December. The ‘spring’ semester runs from mid-January to mid-May.
Soccer and Hockey, for example, are fall sports and softball/baseball, lacrosse and tennis are spring sports.
