Accident? Insurance will assign a liability percentage and go after the entity with the depest pockets. Intentional? That litigation will get nasty. Dont think it can happen? We will see.


Didn't a parent call the police during the Stony Brook tournament last fall (or early spring?)? I wasn't there but I remember hearing about it. The parent felt his daughter was assaulted on the field and wanted action.


When push comes to shove, both clubs, both teams coaches, the tournament they are playing in, the owner of the fields and the players in question. EVERYONE gets served and see what sticks!!
