[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] (FWIW, Freedom Hill Elementary's U-10 fields are downright dangerous.)[/quote]

Really? Believe it or not, people once played on grass before the affluent suburbs decided to turf everything.  Most of us didn't play on a field as nice as Freedom Hill until high school or college.  And most of the best players in the world learned the game in the streets or sandlots with a ball of tape serving as the ball.

Our standards in this area are a bit much.  Trust me, poor little Johnny will be just fine if he doesn't practice on perfectly groomed turf fields maintained to the same standards of FedEx Field.  Dare I suggest that he might even develop better as a result.

That's why I said the U-10 field.  You know, the one out front by the street wedged between trees and the parking lot....not the nice grass field out back of the school.  The field up front was deeply rutted and dried with huge tire track imprints all over the field.  Overall, the fields are good.  The point of relating that, is that VYS seems to be losing out on well-lit turf fields like the Jones Branch location because their turnover is so horrendous.  Which, is a symptom of poor leadership.[/quote]

In other words ... one field. OK.

Where do you get the "losing out on Jones Branch" rumor? Granted, the turnover in the fields position has been a very bad thing in general.[/quote]
