No Laughing Matter
The natural progression of a season from beginning to end can be quite chaotic and confusing. Because of the many tasks coaches have, one of the most important tasks usually gets pushed back or even forgotten; yes I am talking about buying the uniforms and equipment. Each year, when busy season comes along, there are at least a dozen coaches and/or directors that are in complete panic mode because they did not get their uniforms ordered on time.For established teams with existing uniforms, the impact can be minimal but for (new) teams without uniforms, the results are much more severe - forfeited games, angry parents and public embarrassment.
