October weather tips:
Label warm-up gear:
There will be days when players will want to wear warm-up jackets and pants (link: tips on cold weather attire). As a player warms up, she may want to remove a layer, so off comes a jacket, hoody or pants. And on comes the evil lost & found gremlin.
Let’s stop that evil gremlin in its tracks! Please take a moment to use a Sharpie to note your daughter’s initials and uniform number on internal tags / labels. (If she has an older item that’s been through several laundry cycles, make sure the ID is still readable.) Or you can have her initials and uniform number embroidered on the warm-ups. This will prevent needless lost and found angst.
The Quest weather effect:
This note applies to Quest Park practices. As cooler weather hits during the fall, temperatures at Quest and Noonday tend to feel 5-10 degrees colder than the actual temperature due to the close proximity to Noonday Creek. Whatever the weather is at your house, have your daughter dress for 10 degrees colder and she’ll be prepared. Link: tips on cold weather attire
