The confines of the field

Mike,

Here we don't allow "students or non team members to be anywhere the players are". Had problems in the past with
"fans" being near the fences "talking" to the players. The
coaches are real helpful in handling these situations. They
want their player to concretrate on the game and not boy friends or "coaching parents". On site administraters are
very helpful also.

However, you do have a good point.

Glen,

Don't you have enough to do on the field?
What is outside the fence is not my concern. Sounds like a coach and/or school administrator issue, not that of the umpire. And I believe, according to NFHS, you are not playing the game without both being in attendance.
