Relative schmelative...anyone will agree that 20C/68F weather is better for playing sports than freezing weather where you fingers are numb to the bone.
Not to mention getting hit in the balls with a soccer ball. Next thing you know you are passing out from the pain on the ground in your own testicle shards.

Yes, 68F in the summer is perfect for playing sports. Unfortunately, there are a few weirdos on here who salivate for 110F+
But that's relative. Anybody can do any activity they want outdoors, provided hey have the tolerance for it, and kids have tolerance for almost anything. Kids don't care if it's too hot or too cold outside, dry or humid. Those are all adult concerns As for adults, we have posters on here that claim they can't function in anything but the hottest, most humid conditions and some who say that the colder it is, the better they can work outside.
Very true.
Kids seem to be oblivious to hot or cold.
They play outside in T-shirts on days when I'm feeling cold wearing a jacket,
and they also don't seem to care when it's blazing hot either.

I had gym class first thing in the morning one year in high school and while it was rough the first few minutes, the cold conditions were superior to having gym right smack in the middle of the day during the warmer part of the year. I found playing sports like basketball better in near freezing conditions as opposed to 20 C. That's comfortable for sitting around or taking an easy walk, but much cooler temperatures are optimal for physically intense activities, IMO.
But yeah, I agree with the previous posts. Kids are less conscious about the weather and their comfort. It's all about having fun.

20°C is good for playing many sports, but terrible if your favorite sports happen to be snowboarding, hockey, or skiing, amongst others. Last I checked, winter sports are not dying out with age and the Winter Olympics are quite popular. So, cold weather need not be an inhibiting factor to have fun

Of course, but that doesn't mean you can't play sports when the weather is 'freezing'. Wear some gloves, keep on moving, and you'll feel warm enough. This is coming from a person who used to play high school football (soccer to you) in hail/snow and muddy wet conditions and I'm still here without hypothermia. The worst thing would be playing football on a hot day with no wind and high humidity. I ran plenty of times in such weather and it is vile and unpleasant and zaps the energy out of you (but I still did it anyway ).

And here in the US, with many many people playing outdoor ice hockey, they don't get hypothermia. I think Trimac is looking at winter through Australian lenses, not that I blame him since Australia lacks proper winters that are cold enough to do away with the drizzle crap
