Coaches, Parents, and Volunteers;
We had an incident at the park last night (June 18) that should heighten our sense of awareness for the safety of our kids. Although the incident was isolated and the suspected perpetrator has been arrested, we should always exercise common sense about safety. The Park Board of Directors will also be working with City officials to improve security and protection plans at the park.
Please keep the following safety tips in mind:
Parents: Please walk your children to the field; don't drop them off in the parking lot and leave. Make sure you make contact with the coach so he/she knows the child is present and is now under the supervision of the coach. Be there at the field at the end of practice and walk your child to the car.
Coaches: Once the player is under your supervision, you should remain at the field until the parent arrives to pick up their child. Keep contact information on each player with you during practices and games. Make sure that someone on the team has a cell phone for emergency call.
Kids: Please remind your kids that they should be aware of their surroundings at all times. They should avoid contact with strangers and report any unusual activity to you or their coach immediately.
If you have any suggestions or comments please reply to Kevin Wright, Huntsville Eastern League President:

From Huntsville City Parks and Recreation:Now and always please be aware of your surroundings and learn to have a "situational awareness". Always know where your children are and their proximity to you. Situational awareness is a human experience defined as;* Knowing and understanding what is happening around you* Predicting how it will change with time* Being unified with the dynamics of your environmentIf you ever feel uncomfortable about an individual in the park or witness anyone doing anything suspicious, contact a league board representative in the park area and then, if necessary, call HPD.
