D III schools recognize that being a student comes first. One can–although it is VERY bad form-- enroll and then tell the coach that you never want to join the team even on your first day. Of course you would be a pariah in the athletic department and if it is a small school, much broader than that, but there is nothing the college could or would do.

How much time? depends. Again being a student always comes first but some programs take it upon themselves with “captains’ practices” to train much more than the in season practices–and that trend is likely to continue as sports even in the D III become more competitive. Of course, how much you decide to join these elective practices is completely up to you.
