Dress for the weather

It is really important, especially in early spring and late fall in Kansas to ask what the weather is going to be and pack appropriately.  

A warm summer rain is not too bad with maybe a light windbreaker under a jersey to keep body heat in.
However, a cold rain, especially with wind, will drop your core temperature and it is hard to keep fingers and toes warm.

Having the following items in the back of the car as options to add to your wardrobe before the game begins is a great idea:

Knit hat
gloves
long leggings or athletic pants in black
long sleeve athletic top in black/grey/white
silk socks under soccer game socks for extra warmth
rain proof/windproof top to layer under jersey to try to keep body heat in
sweatshirts are popular to wear under jerseys - make sure to tuck the hood into the back of the jersey during play.
Blanket for the bench
Dry clothes including socks and underwear to change into after the game to warm back up in the car ride home.

We've seen snow in October and April, and rain and wind are often in the forecast.  Talk with your family about gathering up your options - anyone sitting on the sidelines will need to layer to stay warm too!
