The base layer is really the main thing. Not much else you can do. Everyone is in the same boat and they just have to suck it up. Unfortunately most everything else interferes with ability to play. By the time high school rolls around, most are used to it.
There is not usually a lot of “downtime” at a tryout where hand warmers or hoodie etc would be useful- other the maybe in the dugout during intrasquads or something. But throw in the bag anyway. |

Of course no bulky layers, but the base layers are great now adays. For baseball specifically, it just important to get a good warm up before it begins. It's "freezing", but not extremely cold. Kids have dealt with this many times before. |

No, they haven't played at night when it's 32 degrees. |

| For softball, mine just had a hoodie on over her regular softball stuff. At pickup, it seemed like that was the standard outfit. Cold was not even something she mentioned after the tryout ... I think the kids know what to do. |

Really? Because November tournaments easily are below 32 in the morning. I get that the sun is rising, but my kids have played with frost on the ground since younger rec ball days... |
