In the Northeast our winters are starting later and later. We have been having very moderate October and November months. Then come April and May and were lucky to get into the high 40's and the wind and rain have been insane the last few years. Our first game last year was during the last week of March. Game temp was 41 degrees with 25MPH winds. The team worked outside this past fall from September 10th till they covered the field up the week before thanksgiving. The day they covered the field it was 56 degrees.

DD really would like to make the team, any suggestions for quality snow shoes? She should play up in infield?

Definitely. Checking to see if outfielders can get their own sled dogs to transport them around. Don't see anything about it in the rules, so it's probably fine.

Baseball and Softball tryouts here are the first week of school or the week before school starts. Then in week 2, those who make the teams are moved to 6th period PE. Even if baseball and softball start at the end of January, the team will have been working out together since August.

We've got a group of girls in our district who have been playing rec together for years. Most of the the players who I'd expect to make the MS team have been practicing together since January outside of school, making use of the indoor time the rec league has arranged for. We even had them play an indoor tourney to get out on the field together. Tryout dates have not been set, but with yesterday's snow, I'm guessing they will be held indoors (as they were last year). At least our girls will have had plenty of practice fielding grounders off of a gym floor!

We start Monday after school. Looks like we might be down in numbers for the 1st time ever. We had 18 at open gym yesterday. Typically, we get high 20s for open gym. Our school is a state contender year in and out in that evil sport soccccccc , I can't even say it and so, a lot of the talent has started going that way.
