[quote=Anonymous]My kids play soccer and basketball.  There is a huge shortage of fields/courts for both.  I've tried working with elected officials, but land is expensive, schools (where the indoor gyms/basketball courts are) are overcrowded and no one seems to care - they would  rather give away our tax dollars to developers to build more housing than build more schools (Woodward HS even opened without their Aux gym for 3 years).   And soccer fields it's even worse.  The grass fields that do exist are in horrible shape.  The county can't keep up with the maintenance required to keep them in decent shape, probably due to overuse.  And, despite Arlington, Howard amd other nearby Counties putting in turf fields to help with this, Montgomery County has decided no more turf.  So we are left with crappy fields.

Those of us who live here have to drive far for games and practices (for both soccer and basketball - just like you do for ice).  Kids activities are not a priority for those in charge[/quote]
