Toughen up princess

If those kids weren't running around in a tin shed in Murray Bridge today, they would be running around a tin shed on their farm, or riding their tractors carting hay.

Coming from an anonymous thats funny

Good call Sebastian!

Anonomous / OP(?) Thank you for chomping on that.

As you say, you are an angry parent and there should be a heat policy in place, which is either being ignored, or the people in charge of today are oblivious to. While having a whinge on Hoops is a good way to have your self esteem massaged by other posters plying you with sympathetic compliments about your concern, perhaps your concern would have been better directed at SAC.

If you were truly concerned about your child's welfare, then perhaps you should not have let them trained as you have ultimate responsibility for your child. The coach only has loco parentus in your absence. If that meant they were dropped as a result by a vengeful coach, then perhaps it's not worth being on that team with a coach with megalomaniac tendencies.

Ahh yes , the old days when all we had to do at MB was put a bit of shade cloth over the special "tomato Plants" in the back yard.

Now its either checking to make sure the hydroponic water pumps and the sun lamps don't loss (free) power, or its trying to explain that burying the shipping container isn't going to help the inbuilt "kitchen" one little bit in this heat.

if it is at the school - i think that is air cond

Cray cray

Depending on court comfort, whether there is AC or not and of course how often the kids get a drink break etc... My thoughts would be they are being conditioned for the Country Cup in Albury/Wodonga in a few weeks time!

At the ACJBC they will be playing in these temperatures all week, ah the memories...

You are right with your concerns but you are astray with your actions. Don't let your kid train. You are the parent. Others may follow, or not, that's their call. I personally think you are right if you did stop them from training. It is clearly absurd, AC or not. What will you gain from it? Fitness? Better shooting? Inproved understanding of plays? Nah don't reckon. Some coaches think that if they are extreme that makes them better coaches. Smart coaches make smart decisions, like not training on ridiculously hot days. But it's your call, no one is forcing you or your kid. Parent up and stand by your logic.

Jack are you a parent ?

And the 17 year old apprentice who now has permanent kidney damage from working in the heat should have had an advocate, his boss or his family or himself. But like the basketball kids who have trained hard to get their spot and know how fragile their position is with stupid adults who make decisions to train on days, they are worried about the dumb adults putting them in the position where they put their work or position before their health. The power some adults have over kids and young adults is there and why policies are created to be adhered to, to protect people front he idiots of the world who have power.

Have some compassion and more importantly common sense instead of you idiots calling people annons or princesses or farmers kids, school yard bullies with nothing better to do. Some people come on here to get some ideas before they put pen to paper to tackle those with all the power and all you can do is belittle them.. Shame on you all.

Seriously Jack, very disappointed you have not approached this intelligently and you have condoned the seriously dumb statements and attacks and made assumptions about peoples motivations.

Wait until your kid dies because of mis management.

isn't there a policy anyway ?
