[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lots of kids in competitive sports drive to other jurisdictions to participate in teams based on lack of availability in Arlington. Its not some god given right that your sport will have a competitive team that’s nearby.[/quote] Exactly! We've been driving my son to PG county Maryland for the past 4-5 years for his chosen travel sport. Arlington taxpayers should not have to subsidize a small (relative to county size) group of elite gymnasts when it does not subsidize or provide free fields for other rec or travel sports. That said, I think the county can still offer gymnastics and charge enough to hire good instructors and maintain a section of the facility.[/quote]
