My final day as the sports intern at the Tiffin YMCA was a pretty cold experience.  It was also the flag football and soccer games and they were playing them at Heidelberg University's football stadium.  All of the kids were really excited about this because it was later at night and the games were under the lights.  The first games that were scheduled were flag football and both the teams showed up and started playing.  The weather was cold but it was starting to rain.  The soccer teams came in a little bit after and the weather was getting worse, so the coaches decided to call the games off.  Me and Becky called the rest of the coaches to see if they still wanted to play the games or if they wanted to cancel.  All of the coaches decided on cancelling because it wasn't worth getting everyone sick.  We cleaned up the soccer fields but the two flag football teams were still playing so we let them stick it out until they wanted to leave.  The parents were all understanding about cancelling and I think the coaches made the right decision for the kids too.  It wasn't a great last day for my internship but it was a different situation and new experience that I got to go through. I think this internship has taught me a lot about event planning and organizing and dealing with parents and coaches.  This has giving me a lot of experience with youth sports.

I have worked this internship for a long time now and me and Becky have been somewhat into a normal routine.  This day was different though.  Becky asked me to help her out with one of her gymnastic classes that she had scheduled.  Normally she would have done this on her own but it was a good experience to see what other activities the YMCA puts on.  This event was an event for home schooled students that were 7-10 years old, both boys and girls.  There was about 10 of students all together and there was one student who had a disorder that Becky wanted me to kind of keep an eye on.  There were two parents that stayed and watched.  The event was set up in the YMCA gymnastics area in the back of the gym and me and Becky set up about 3 different stations.  The students were pretty good about following directions and listening but I ended up baby sitting one of the students, which I didn't mind because I was helping out Becky so she could focus on the students that were actually listening and paying attention to the activities.  I think this opportunity was very helpful for new activities ideas for the future.  It was also good to get out of the normal routine and paper work.  

This week is the Cross Country Heritage Festival meet.  This was a very large meet and had a lot of participants.  I could only be there for a little bit.  Becky didn't really have anything to do with this event but she told me the cross country coach needed some help.  I didn't really do anything with the event but I helped out with taking admissions.
