I also have the Schutt with the cold packs. About the 4th inning I had someone put in the cold packs and it was just as nice as working in Minnesota in the spring. (that is an overstatement)
As far as partners going down during a game I think that would be a bad example for the kids.  |
One of Rachel's group, [Mn], set the record for going down in a tournament.
Start of the bottom of the 1st inning he over-heated.
Beaumont, Tx., is definiately not the place to not keep plenty of fluids and
fruits in your bod. The amonia works great also. Our temperature is always
high 90's with humidity same or higher during May, June, July, August.
