To me, proper treatment by the site management is more important than wearing jackets. But again, our association would quickly deal with the school if we found that getting keys to the locker room was difficult.

Is Pacifica, CA anywhere near Massachusetts?

No, just near SF.

Very similar here on jackets, but I hadn't really thought of it as part of an exit strategy before. Most of the time we don't leave between games. Depending on the gym, we might go at half - but some of the auxiliary gyms are a hike.

Nobody wears a jacket for JV or lower, but I always figured it was because we were cheap -- not because we were worried about dealing with it.

... its a different story. I would force the issue. Schools need to provide.
When I hit the floor I'm finding who my site administrator is, and who has keys to get us back in.

We are in and out at halftime and out at the end of the game. That is the protocol. If we need to train the schools, then so be it.

Things must have changed. We went to the room at half-time, every time. I wore a jacket about 75% of the time in JV games when in DM.
