iPhone apple calendar - recurring weekdays

How do I create a recurring calendar item to show up only on weekdays and not every single day? For example my kid has practice every week day (M-F) from 3-4pm. The iPhone calendar doesn’t have that option. It has weekly, daily, every 2 weeks, monthly, yearly. Even if I look in the custom settings it doesn’t give me weekday options. For years I just create 5 weekly events. It is easier than choosing daily and then trying to delete the events that show up on Sat and Sun (I’ve done that option before and it is a mess). It would be nice to have repeat every weekday option.
