I know this has been covered before....and I know we live in So Cal, BUT how hot is too hot for our kids? what do we as parents do?
Today my dd played at 11:30 on turf, she plays U16 but there are only 13 players on the roster for her team, which is part of the problem, but about 5 minutes before the half break one of the girls started having breathing problems and requested a sub, we had already subbed in our 2 subs so coach pulled her out and we played with 10 players for a few minutes. It was about 100 degrees in Riverside today along with horrible winds. So half time comes and my dd's coach decides that rather than have the girls sit under the team EZ-up in the shade they should sit on the turf in the heat and wind so that he can tell them to suck it up and play harder in the heat. This is our first year with this coach due to age bracket changes. We have played in So Cal club soccer for about 6 years now, but this is the first time that I felt the coach was endangering the kids. Thoughts?
