Some schools won't allow Sunday meetings on school grounds. This was the policy of my old team's school, the few seasons we needed a Sunday to finish things up we had to take everything to a mentor's house and work in their garage. Many members can't make Sundays regardless for religious reasons.

Our schedule is 5-6 to 9 Tuesday and Thursday, 9-10 to 4 Saturday. We're meeting this first Sunday to help with strategy and will add a day or two extra in weeks 5 and 6 as needed to finish things up.

In high school I used to go 6 days a week for 25+ hours and 40+ the last week, doing homework before the meetings started. As a mentor now I can't do that schedule and can see why adults in FIRST get burned out from it.
