Any player, parent, guardian or spectator who has complaints, comments or suggestions with anyone connected with any program activity (coaches, other spectators, players or officials, etc), for any reason, should wait 24 hours before approaching any coach, sport commissioner or GRAA Board sport liaison with those complaints, comments or suggestions. Officials (referees, umpires etc.) should never be approached by players, parents, guardians or spectators during or after games. This rule is intended to let all have a cooling/calming down period. After that time, the first thing to do is to discuss the problem with the coach or assistant coach. If necessary, the sport commissioner and/or GRAA Board sport liaison may be included. It is the GRAA Board’s opinion that, after waiting the required period of time, everyone will be able to discuss any issue in a more appropriate manner and setting.

Automatic External Defibrillators (AED's) AEDs are important at fields because they can help save lives in the event of sudden cardiac arrest. The AEDs are designed to be user-friendly and help bystanders take immediate action. Every minute that passes between cardiac arrest and defibrillation reduces the chance of survival by 10%. AEDs can improve the sudden cardiac arrest survival rate for people of all ages and athletic levels. In a joint effort, the Glen Ridge Athletic Association & the Borough of Glen Ridge have installed Automatic External Defibrillators (AED's) at the following sites: Forest Avenue Field Sherman Avenue Field Hurrell Field Carteret Park
