Am I crazy for not canceling baseball practice?

Ever wondered why when it warms up a little we don't see near the flu spread?

No! Flu virus is airborne and survives winter because of low humidity.

Your point is #4 in the list of how flu spreads.

I'm amazed that the old wives tale of cold weather causing sickness is still so pervasive.

Yup truth to this.

I would not have 8 year olds out in this weather for baseball, maybe football.

I see no difference in playing outside for hours on end vs spending 2hrs at a baseball practice. We will just have to agree to disagree.

7-8 year olds don't have much of an attention span anyway, much less when there cold. Parents gonna be sitting in there vehicles thinking Dang,I wish they'd hurry up.

Yep and 2 hour practice! They are serious! lol

Just say the practice isn't mandatory and let all parents know it is more of a meet and greet type of practice.

At 7 years old it's not like you are keeping anyone from being a pro next year. It's for fun. Playing in this crap isn't fun.

I guess because it's organized, required or ****gasp**** baseball it's bad?

Kids go sledding in the snow for hours, ski, ice skate, play hockey, etc..... for hours on end in much harsher conditions. I get that some of you have dug your heals in to the point of no going back but the argument that kids playing a sport for a couple of hours in the cold is more harmful than sitting on their but at home playing x-box is crazy.

Make it fun, read the kids and cut it off when they stop having fun. It's kids playing a game in the cold weather, they will survive and might even have fun

Go for it. I guarantee all the kids want to go play.

You will also get a good read on the parents who are willing to take them to play when the weather is a lil sketchy.
