Regardless of the flu piece there is no reason for 7 year olds to be in that weather for 2 hours for many reasons.
I think folks forget they are kids regardless if we think they are MLB bound.

Those kind of temps never kept us from playing football outside or exploring the nearest pasture, creek, or pocket of woods. Maybe we were given too much free reign as kids. I guess Im lucky to be alive.
I played multiple levels of sports and have seen just about all of it. 2 hours in this weather for 7 year olds to get a practice in is silly at best.

Originally posted by txwhitetail View PostI lived outside. Wore out several red ryders to the point they wouldn't even shoot. Rain, snow, or shine we grew up in the pasture or on the river. There is a little difference in a 2 hour practice with a bunch of kids or spending some time playing in the snow.
