[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No field space. JV and V boys and girls soccer and lacrosse all need to share.[/quote]
It's a shame APS and the county don't coordinate better.  There are tons of fields for rec soccer.  It's crazy to think they couldn't work in capacity for 3 HSfreshman teams.[/quote]

Who is paying for this? Are you going to coach?[/quote]

There's no money for freshman coaches and moreover APS has fewer VHSL sports than Fairfax and Alexandria due to the fact there's no money in the budget. Also, no other jurisdiction in the area has freshman soccer. [/quote]

Exactly. There is no field space and no money in the budget. For field space, DD plays a different spring sport at WL and there is literally no time in the schedule to fit in practice for an additional team. There are four different teams sharing the stadium field and those practice times are 3:30-5; 5-6:30; 6:30-8; and 8-9:30. When my DD has the late practice, she gets home at 10 at the earliest. Scrimmages start today (3/4) and now some of those practices will move to the auxiliary grass field, which is bumpy and definitely less than ideal. Arlington just does not have the space to accomodate additional teams - they are already sharing the fields with so many other entities.

Beyond that, APS doesn't have the budget - they just announced they don't have the money to fund boys volleyball or girls flag football. I don't see freshman soccer getting funded and not those other two sports. [/quote]
