Rainout Feb 21st at ODP practice North Texas
Rainout Feb 21st at ODP practice North Texas
While the rain was uncomfortable, didn't seem to be too bad as far as ability to practice soccer. If the field was an issue, there is a huge amount of space just across the street- that's where they hold cross country meets every year. Seems they could have made a backup plan to hold workouts there- even "optional" workouts.
We have had multiple conflicts due to club soccer games, and finally had a weekend we could make the ODP. Consider so many people traveling 10-40 miles EACH WAY just within the metroplex, would have been nice not to make that a wasted effort.

Sorry to hear you all had to drive from far and the practices were canceled.
Probably they tried to arrange indoor and were not successful. We liked the fact that practice was canceled, it would have been somewhat miserable for the parents to watch in wet weather . Not sure if the kids would have liked it or hated it.
For us it was enough notice (90 minutes) that it does not cause too much of an inconvenience. Understand you are driving from far.
Hopefully not many practices/ league games are canceled this season. Last spring season was nightmare.

Some actually traveled 300+ miles one way for the last minute cancellation.

You mean like the 1:24 coach to field player ratio?
