Here's what I learned in Huntsville this week:
Huntsville residents have an opportunity to take Sports Safety Course. It's free (coupon code is: HUNTSVILLE2-5/2008) and available online. It is provided by the State of Alabama through a grant with Alabama State University and the National Center for Sports Safety. The goal is to decrease the number of injuries by helping youth and high school sporting events to become safer venues through emergency action planning. For more info, call (256) 564-8026.
According to a recent Huntsville Stars' newsletter, the city of Huntsville is planning to update the sound system at Joe Davis Stadium sometime this summer. "The design is to have 10 torpedo speakers installed above the seating bowl under the eaves of the stadium and everybody will then hear everything."
