[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most county fields, including the school fields are in bad shape due to overuse.  From overcrowded schools to not enough fields (for all the sports clubs that use them for practices), the answer is turf but there are too many loud voices that are anti-turf (read the OLO report and you'll see).  So, instead of playing on a turf field, our kids are playing on compacted dirt, in mud puddles, and with rocky surfaces.

Our neighbors, Arlington County, Fairfax County, Howard County, etc. are all turning fields and Montgomery County is falling behind.  FYI, there are newer turf projects with natural fill (no more rubber tires).[/quote]

OP. Our field is in very bad shape from just a year and a half of play. I was wondering if any schools restrict play to prevent the field from completely deteriorating.

Too many restrictions as-is. That is the problem.  Put the kids on blacktop.  Put them on turf.  Let them play in a deteriorating field and sign a waiver that you won’t sue.  They are kids.  They don’t really care until we lay our protective layer over them.

We already have too many restrictions on fields.  Volunteer to help maintain it if it is an issue for you.[/quote]
