You are NOT the coach but an umpire. As an umpire you did YOUR job when the game was in YOUR control meaning you vacated the area.

What the participants do after that is NOT on you EVEN if something horrible might happen.

Perhaps this particular Legion group forgot about the following incident that happend.

6/4/09 Lightning Kills Little League Baseball Player. | WDEF News 12 | News, Weather and Sports for Chattanooga and the Tennessee Valley

In a nutshell you did your JOB which was to vacate the area.
