    'Used to it' isn't an answer. How long is the session, and are there water breaks? A tin roof in May is the problem, not the time on the clock.

    Ei, same story with my daughter's table tennis last May, a tin shed at 4 pm. We sent a big bottle of lemon-salt water and she sat out the last 20 minutes whenever it got too much. Coach grumbled, but fine. This year she has refused afternoons completely 🙂

    Same thing happened with cricket nets. Four parents messaged the coach together asking for the 6.30 pm slot, and he moved it within a week. One parent asking gets 'they're used to it'. Four parents asking gets a new timing.
