When we move to Shriners and our practices end at 9 and all the lights go out, its pitch black and the far end of town and still parents show up late.
And sometimes I'm sitting there as the lone coach waiting with a kid or two for their parents to show up and I'm thinking, that I'm putting myself in a bad spot but I can't leave the kid to his own devices to wait in a darkened field to wait for parents.

That's crazy. I was late only once and that was in early June during a spring camp when we had a monsoon storm and they called practice early and I was maybe 15 minutes late. To be doing that all the time is kind of disrespectful to the coaches who are volunteering their time.
