Being from a city that was 35 degrees and raining when we returned makes me want to escape to the sun every chance I get. I am guilty of taking a couple of naps in the grass between matches as long as I had nothing else to be doing, and I don't see anything wrong with others doing the same.

I know after a long day of watching matches and scouting on Thursday, our students were ready for some energy-releasing time. Playing Frisbee in the quad let us have some fun and enjoy each others company after a long day.

As mentioned before if the students are into the competition, then there shouldn't be a need to be outside playing games. It is very tiring however to watch 60 matches in one day.

As for PDA, there is a time and a place for everything and no one should be setting any rules except for the teams and the school. My high school team always lived by the policy that we are still at school when at a competition, and school rules apply.

I also think it has to do with the age and maturity of the students involved. Instead of yelling at students for PDA-ing, or saying "thats gross", sit down and discuss with them what it looks like from an outside perspective, and how it is perceived. Explain why PDA reflects poorly upon the team, and make suggestions for what's appropriate PDA and whats not.
