[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The individual coaches in elite don't have much recourse. Elite itself was granted the field space it was granted and chooses to dole it out as they see fit. I can see why the older age groups are given priority for fully lighted fields. Alternatives might be to carry fewer teams at the younger age levels and/or to limit training options for those younger teams to 1-2 fewer training sessions a week.

Bridge (and rec) coaches might have other options, working with the field coordinator who also manages assignments for the rec program, but the alternative to getting a lit field or a field with a goal sometimes comes with you being one of 3-5 other teams for one field.

All that said, I did notice a couple times at Pine Ridge on Tuesday evenings one half of one of the fields is going unused like after 6:30pm.  Don't know if that tmeans BRYC is permitted for that field at that time, or if the coach given the space simply isn't using up all of their allocated time, or if it's an actual open slot.

On the flip side, the head elite coaches at the younger age groups are managing about 7 teams across two age groups and have to stack those age group practices back to back--they can't practice until dark at Robinson and then expect to make it to a lit field across town to start another session with the next age group in five minutes.

Keep in mind, for the Spring season this will be a non-issue.

Welcome to a terrible club. It sounds like overstretched staff and not enough permits. My kid not getting the number of practices specified in the contract would be enough for me to leave. [/quote]
