face=Arial>Welcome to my world! I've been coaching kid's ice hockey for
some 19 years now and seen a lot of this. USAHockey mandates a background
check on all adults who go on the ice during practice, on the bench during games
or in the dressing rooms. I have made it a rule for myself to NEVER be in
the dressing room when there is just one other kid. BUT the positive side
of all of this is that we get a chance to be a POSITIVE role model for the kids
and, hopefully, have a positive impact on them. Be safe, be careful, be
positive, make a positive impact.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

it gets tricky. This past WoW, I had a LOT of kids on the range. I
gave two of them permission to be there without their parents, BUT, the other
kids and parents wanted to know why it was okay for those kids and not for
theirs. It ended up being a pain in the butt and I had to toss one kid
off the range, and her mom came to me with "issues". Oi! </P>

different understanding of Janyn's statement.
The age that was lowered, was for a Youth to become a Marshal. It has
nothing to do with 'being on the range'.
A youth at any age (7, 3, heck 6 months), can be on the age and shooting
as long as a marshal feels safe about it. And that can be with, or
without, their parents being present. Again, it's all a judgement call
of the marshal.
I've known 5 year olds who I trust on the range without their parents.
And I've known 15 year olds, who I want their parent standing right next
to them.
