Any practice starting when it would be below 32, were canceled. Sucks because the games this weekend will be in the 20's.

If kids who train consistently miss a week of practice, it's a none issue.

We have an upcoming tournament in our south of DC area and I checked the expected 9am temp, 22 degrees! That's a new low for us for a game and I can't imagine they'll play if its that cold.

I was complaining about 36 on Saturday!

My kids have run with me in freezing temperatures and they were out today in our backyard playing soccer in windy freezing temperatures. Again, just have the proper clothes.

But parents know their kids best, regardless of whether clubs cancel or not, it’s up to them to decide whether their kid can handle the cold or not.

For sure, it’ll be rough on the youngest kids or at clubs where practices are not very intense. It’s not going to be one size fits all and it’s the parents call, not the clubs. They can help facilitate the decision by canceling I suppose but again, parents call.


Today wasn’t nearly as cold as it will feel during late evening practices.

My son is a GK so it’s a little trickier. He doesn’t get as much movement. It will be a windchill around 10 degrees at practice (8-9:30). I think I better upgrade his coldgear.

Temps under 30 or cold temps with rain -activities are cancelled. No indoor option for many clubs.

I’m curious how clubs will be handling the upcoming freezing temps. DS has been playing soccer for many years and his teams have played and practiced in all kinds of crummy weather but I never remember temps as cold as predicted in the evenings for weeks straight. Do you think your club will be canceling or moving indoors?
