Just another pleasant reminder to "please" respect the Triton facilities we practice and play games in. There have been more reports of issues in the schools. The TYB BOD are optimistic and want to believe these issues stem from a minority of people who just do not get it. Here is a recent e-mail we received last week from one of the schools:
"I have been asked to contact you about basketball practice, unfortunately this past week we have received complaints about the kids and parents, while the coach is supervising in the gym.
We have had kids taking handicap equipment that is left in the halls next to their rooms and using it. The wheelchair was being used as a toy up and down the hallway while the parent watched and laughed while talking on the phone. Basketballs were being thrown up and down the stairs, as well as parents going into the classrooms and taking mats out to sit on. Parents as well as children have been found in classrooms looking around and shouldn't be.
Everyone in the building should be in or right outside the gym with there kids, as we have discussed previously.
David, the custodians that were on Tuesday, Wednesday night asked the kids and parents to please not touch any of the equipment and to stay out of the teacher rooms and hallways, this request was ignored as within 20 minutes they were doing it again.
I have talked with the principal and she advised me to please contact you in regards to this matter and to please tell you that if this continues she will have to suspend basketball practice from our school."
As a measure to provide some level of accommodation, this school is going to lock the classroom doors then provide some seating in the gym and hallways.
We cannot stress enough our concern as we require full-use of these facilties to get thru our season. It will put undo stress on the coaches, teams and players if we begin to lose gym time.
We leave it to all of you to please make wise decisions regarding your behavior as well as your guests!
Best Regards,
TYB Board of Directors
