He had all the meetings Saturday. Yikes! There are liability issues you don't even think about! It's a little frightening.
The instructor said he always had a rule that the second to last parent to pick up their child had to stay until the last child was picked up no matter how long it took. Jason's thinking of telling his parents that someone has to stay with the kid at practice the whole time - either parent, a relative, even a teenaged sibling - but someone representing that child should be at the entire practice. No drop-offs A. in case of injury and B. so Jason or the assistant is never left in a position of being the last adult left with a child.
Parents, is that reasonable? I understand in the case of parents with multiple kids, dropping off one at practice and picking up later may be how you manage to shuttle them around to everything, but is it understandable that a coach would ask this?
Also, one of his kids is listed as allergic to "pcn and pb" I assume pb is peanut butter - what would 'pcn' be? Obviously we'll ask to make sure when we make the snack list we tell parents what NOT to bring, but I was curious.
