So my child had a baseball game last night. It rained a bit during the day but there was still a chance of showers. During about the 5th inning i guess the clouds were coming in and it was beginning to thunder. I picked up all my stuff and put it in the car... We saw a breif flash of lighting and my dad went and said something to the coach "whos in charge it's gonna storm " .. He wasnt loud he was just to the point . The coach told him to chill out..Rather loudly I might add.... THEN they finally decide to call the game.. They said they would wait 15 minutes and see if it passed... So we ran to the cars as it began to really get windy and lighting was upon us ... It starts to pour and then they concede to say we can leave... Everybody leaves in the middle of the HUGE storm . I sat in my car. I was NOT driving home in that mess. Waited 20 minutes or so to leave. Roads were flooded once i did leave as well ... Why put kids in danger and parents at risk for an accident ?
There was no way to really avoid the storm it was cleary right on top of us as anyone can see. They were more concerned with the game because it was tied then to tell the kids to get off and find shelter. I for one was about to pull my kid off the feild myself. I told him if it happens again I will do it and if tell him to get off the feild then to just come with me and dont worry about it .
I was really appauled about how the coaches reacted to this number one and how he dared to say "chill " to my dad who was clearly looking at the intrest of saftey first .
He has a game on Sat I dont even wanna look at the coach I just have no words for it . He's a cubscout leader as well like he dosnt know saftey with weather conditions...
My dad is former president of the school board if he wanted to he could alert the athletic director of the litttle league and their lack of concern over a storm. They did this last year as well .. They started a game that was cleary in line for a storm .
