Too cold for practice?

Posted by Hank Mountain on January 20, 2025, 10:26 pm

My team has practice tomorrow night in an indoor space that's not heated. Some of the Ps are saying that it will be too cold to practice. Should I cancel the practice and eat the money we paid for the spaceor do we practice? I plan on making them run a lot and do lots of pushups and burpees to stay warm. Thoughts and opinions?

Why would rent a place in the middle of January that doesn’t have heat?

Have everyone bring an old wooden bat or firewood and light a fire in the middle of the facility

I don’t know what to tell you about practice, you’re the coach figure it out. But the one thing I can tell you is this, the very last thing you should do is come one here and ask advise from a bunch of degenerates.

Hank hits me more like a parent than a coach, especially coming on here.

I’m sure you have a practice policy in place for players who miss practice. Reinforce the policy and explain to the players as well as the parents that you are not able to control the weather. Tell the players you are not about to schedule practices based on if the weather conditions will be as comfortable as they want. Then keep in mind the players who are there because they are the ones who want to improve.

Since you prepaid they may be willing to let you come another date to use it considering they didn't provide heating in the warehouse.

Teach the parents a lesson and move the practice outdoors.

Why are you renting a place in winter that doesn't have heat?
