We got the rain Friday night. Friendly Sat. 10/5 was to use 3 diamonds, starting at 9am. Got reduced to 2 diamonds that were slightly greasy, other 2 unplayable. So we had to set 2 games in a row. We took lunch for first game, then HC had practice on the muddy field that wasn't being used... now that was training!!! If games cancel, have practice before the diamonds dry... then you'll see who really wants to play in the infield. :{))
Make sure to get something to get mud off cleats...any good suggestions on the best easy to carry mud remover???
Oh yea, don't forget too bring score book.
Let me preface this by saying, I believe softball to be a fairweather sport and abhor playing in less than preferable conditions.
I think playing in muddy situations is extemely dumb. I can speak from experience which includes three knee surgeries and replacement which directly resulted from an incident while practicing on a muddy field wearing metal spikes.
While children are much more resiliant, I don't believe it is worth the risk.
