Mike..........

We usually don't get into the 50's until this time of year............if ever............

40's in November is rare..........much less the 30's.............

I will agree that kids sports have gone overboard on the seasons.................

Sports Doctors agree that year round sports can cause chronic problems.................

Kids switching from Soccer, to Basketball, to Swimming, to Softball, to Track...........are usually OK...............the major muscle groups exercised are different enough to NOT cause overuse injuries............

BUT........there has been a trend in the last 10 years or so for parents to push their children into a sport that they are most talented in..........and keep them playing year round..............

I have NOT allowed any of mine to play any sport NON-STOP.........there has to be some rest/off time.........

Moving from one sport to another seems to be okay according to the Sports Doctors............but sticking to one sport only is not................
