[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your scenario has a table and referees and whatnot. Who is paying for those people, training them, organizing them, background checks, etc.

I’ve been involved in rec team sports and it is hard to find volunteers during work hours. So if this is after school you would likely need to pay folks.

They sort of have this at the fcps middle school after school activities. But my very athletic 7th grader hated the after school sports last year because there were so many kids that didn’t know how to play the various sports that they never got to really play beyond the instructional stage.

Let’s see. Looking at my parks and recs catalog, who is paying these employees:
The rock climbing teacher on Saturdays?
The kayak and paddle board instructors all summer. 
Basketball camps in each rec center all summer and T & TH evenings
Gymnastics, dance and martial arts.

These are not private listings. P&Rec connects to plenty of those. The ones I listed for my town are publicly provided. The $25-100 fees help, yes. But gov’t could pay for the program.

Adults are already sitting there and already volunteering at league sports. Same.

Answering your concern about levels, I did suggest from post #1 that athletes are rated for skill level. Their pickup game would be one field / at a certain time. Assessments and ratings can be updated at a given period.[/quote]
