Final Week

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.
