Extremely Physical Games

We were very disappointed in this tournament. It seems the refs are afraid to make calls when it comes to unnecessary roughness and fouls. Many of the games were extremely physical in which 3 players on our team were injured - one with a concussion who had to leave by ambulance.

On that note the ambulance took an awfully long time to arrive - at least 11 mins. The site 1st aid responder used his walkie-talkie but no one responded. Ambulances should be on site at these tournaments. I was a parent but I am also a nurse and did stabilize the child's head & neck until help arrived.
