[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a COVID impact.  Lacrosse will rebound…. [/quote]

Maybe a factor, but the emphasis on club over local isn't only a lacrosse phenomenon. Additionally, the clubification of youth sports in general has also started an arms race for reserving fields, with deeper pocketed clubs (of all sports) pushing out rec and local teams.

The overall climate of youth sports is beyond the pale. [/quote]

Except in NOVA county facilities give precedent to county/rec teams. Then travel teams get the remainder. So that isn’t true at all[/quote]Thanks, Cabell.
Maybe you misunderstood his post or don't know how supply and demand works.  
Rec charges(d) $150-200 a year.  Fields saw they can charge $175-250 an hour to clubs and rec can't afford that.

You can charge thousands and unless you're an idiot take home half even while doing that and $4-5000+ tournaments.[/quote]
I understand it completely. The PP is just wrong.

You don’t know how field space is allocated. Again, when the county sends out county field space reservation. Time is given to rec teams 1st at no charge or extremely low rates. Then outside parties are give their choice at much higher rates. [/quote]

This^^^ I do the schedule for our rec organization. [/quote]So how much does field space cost per hour for you, turf vs grass, and where?  [/quote]

i didnt respond None ya, but i don’t really care to sumbit our field schedule to you. sits complicated and a big file.

You can easily google that or you can call PRCS and see what they offer for 501(c)(3)’s for the times you need and location and type of field you need to rent.[/quote]NP, these are the responses I expected.  Vague assertions and then I can't tell you anything, top secret.  You backed a guy that didn't understand that a singular point, turf field rates, is an issue.  Not priority.

It's not complicated, even if you have it in a big file. But thanks for chiming in.[/quote]

Not the PP but...

Again, you don't understand the process. You seem to think it is backwards - club gets the pick of fields first, then rec.  DPR's charge low or no charge field use to their own rec programs use. Any charges is for accounting purposes. So even if they charged their own programs for field use, it is really just one hand moving money to the other.  Come each season, DPR gives rec organizations priority when picking fields. Then what is left over is provided to outside organizations at higher rates.

There is a reason most lax clubs rent private school fields because they can get priority through paying more. They don't like using DPRs because they are in the back of the line.

If you don't believe me, do what the PP stated, just call or google. It isn't hard to find.
