We are newbies at sports training - ds is loving hockey and rugby

But I have no idea whether people still go if the weather is rubbish

Obviously if it is tipping it down its a no no
But what if it is raining constantly but not torrential - do people still go.............. and stand there in the rain while their kids run about

in the rain?

Yes I know I am a wimp

But dd will have to come with me and ds as well - the thought of walking 3/4 mile to get there, stand in rain for an hour and walk back, all in the rain, is not the slightest bit appealling

Yes - but am a P.E teacher so poor DCs don't stand a chance!

Rowing never cancelled - they run instead!

Sorry I forgot to specify that I mean after school/evening clubs - not those connected to school or during school day

Of course they do!
That is part of the 'fum'.

Wimp.

Yes.
In wind, rain, hail and snow.
You are expected to go whatever the weather!

The only time rugby training was cancelled was when the pitch was actually frozen and it was too dangerous.

Adults still play matches even when its tipping it down dont they

So do kids have to practice in the rain too - to toughen up???

Ignorant question as I never really did any sport outside of school when I was a kid
