So, this topic relates to something which occurred during a HS game today. I want to know how everyone feels about being at their daughter's games, and what would you do if she got injured.
Today's game saw our 3B take a wicked hop off the dirt to the face. The girl dropped to the ground writhing in obvious pain and bleeding profusely from her nose. The umpires stopped the game while our coaches tended to the injured player, and we waited for the athletic trainer to arrive from a different school in the district. It took the AT 15 minutes to arrive from their middle school, so the home team had no real first aid abilities until he arrived.
Because it was an away game, neither parent was there, so they finally got a hold of the father, but it took him 40 minutes to arrive. Once he got there, he rushed her to the hospital for X-rays, which showed a broken nose and possibly broken orbital.
My question to the group is A) would you let your daughter play a HS or MS game without a parent or guardian there after seeing how incompetent the coaches and trainers were? B) what is the protocol near you?
Sadly, our district lost a football player 10 years ago due to an injury sustained on the field at an away game. Neither parent was there, and he passed before they could get there to say good-bye.
