Cancel it. Kids don’t know how to properly dress as an athlete for those conditions. Most parents won’t know either. You’re gonna have a bunch of kids who want to quit after the first practice because they were miserable-and that would have nothing to do with kids not wanting to play bad enough. Remember, these are 7/8 year olds. Serious baseball shouldn’t start until they hit their teens.

I'm sure we all practiced in -40 and 3' of snow in our day but in reality there is little to no reason to have 7 year olds out in 40 degree temps with the wind practicing baseball.

Cold means running nose, eyes watering from wind, this causes a person to wipe at their faces and transfer germs from their hands to their faces and this causes illness.

Only thing one should be doing on days like this is trying to kill critters or making babies. [emoji3][emoji106]
