Jonriv,
We may be there. Can't say I am thrilled about it.
The softball and facilities are fine. However, if you are in an emergency you are in trouble. We had a girl two years ago that had a major collision, severe, out cold on the ground not moving severe... we had multiple people dialing 911 while multiple other people immediately got face to face with the organizers to get an ambulance. The organizers initially refused...refused and balked at the thought of needing an ambulance. I think someone encouraged them with the comment about a civil suit. When an ambulance did arrive... 15 minutes later... with the hospital is 500 yards from the field... the organizers refused to let the ambulance onto the field (to center field) because it might leave tracks in the grass (weather was dry, but that's irrelevant). By the time the EMT folks finally got a gurney through the outfield she was semi-conscious. And, of course, she bounced on the gurney all the way back to the ambulance in the usual neck brace/head restraints . She was rushed to the hospital, in ICU, then finally out, and eventually recovered
If anyone at NTC wants to take issue with this comment, please go for it, a$$holes. That's my opinion, like it or not. Oh, I have 30-40 witnesses. Nothing but gross incompetence by the people running the show.
enjoy,
