A few seminars have organized after class games for participants. Due to temperatures, games are only appropriate for schools scheduled for April through October. Games should be planned with the understanding that cold or wet weather on Saturday will cancel them. Games should be promoted by prominent ads in the brochure, large signs in the registration area and instructor enthusiasm and support. Games should not be planned by schools with small enrollment .
Students prefer to form teams with their department colleagues.
They resist forming teams with new classmates. However, students who have traveled alone WILL form teams with new friends. Index Contingency Plans Nothing is worse than having to scramble for equipment or facilities for practical exercises. Have alternate sources for apparatus, wrecked autos, structural burns, forcible entry practicals, etc. The importance of safety at seminars cannot be overemphasized.
