More than just baseball around here
A new season of soccer has also started for Brigid. This year we were incredibly fortunate that Sports Beijing was able to use one of the International School of Beijing's Sports Domes for the youngest age-groups' soccer program.

I had been admiring these domes from afar every week at baseball practice this spring.
I wondered if the interior were really worth the hype, if we would really notice the difference should we ever have the opportunity to enter them.
These domes have been featured in all kinds of publications and news sites this year. These two structures are equipped with climate control and an air filtration system to maintain temperature, humidity, and AQI at levels for optimum athletic performance. Of these controls, the one that is most impressive and important is the air quality. We are so grateful that ISB is allowing Sports Beijing access to this space.

For the first few weeks of soccer we've had pretty clear air, and wondered if perhaps the Sports Domes (and the added cost) were maybe not necessary this season. This morning, though, it was very clear that, yes, the domes were essential to the program. As the AQI increased into the 300s, all of the baseball activities for the day were cancelled, including Myles' session. He dealt with the disappointment well, realizing that as much as he would have loved to play baseball today, he had little desire to be out in the choking air.
