So...just fun anecdote about today's match because it was POURING rain.
When I was a youth soccer coach I wouldnt cancel practices on account of rain. Never. Its raining? I dont care.
One day all of the parents got together to complain that they had to send their kids out to practices in the rain, their kids got all wet, etc.
I don't care. I'm out here too. We get so limited practice time...we cant cancel it on account of some rain. A little water never hurt anyone...
And then my assistant coach chimes in. Think of: "Stereotypical Gigantic British Man from the midlands." And he just yells at them:
"OY! In ENGLAND, if ya dont want to play footy in the rain then YOU'D NEVER PLAY!!"
And that was the end of that. No more complaints.
