[quote=Anonymous][quote=FPYCparent]Does anyone think that the number of "home game" fields could be an indicator of how big/small a club may be?  (Sure, the total number of teams would be a "more obvious" indicator.)

Since FPYC only fields travel teams in NCSL, I can see that we list [url=http://ncsl-soccer.com/_element_display/#%2F80738%2Fteams%2Fclub%2F15599442.html%3Fdummy%3D1546620110826]seven fields[/url] (<== link) used for competition.  Two of those fields are at Oak Marr RECenter and Oakton High School, so I really don't consider them to be exclusive to the club.  That page also indicates that we're fielding a total of 16 soccer teams.  I know that the remaining five fields are also used by Fairfax High School and well as other FPYC sports (football, lacrosse).

Somehow, FPYC has made the field scheduling for outdoor practices work, but I don't envy whomever has that task.  I couldn't imagine what would happen if every NCSL team within FPYC also tried to schedule indoor venues for winter/futsal practices.  (I also won't mention that I haven't 'cracked the code' for some FPYC teams gaining access to fields/courts at GMU on any consistent basis.  Surely, there are spaces available in January when the bulk of the student body isn't around!)

For comparison, our closest neighbor to the north, [url=http://ncsl-soccer.com/_element_display/#%2F80738%2Fteams%2Fclub%2F15599481.html%3Fdummy%3D1546621294830]Vienna Youth Soccer[/url], (<==link) lists 18 fields for home matches for 45 NCSL teams.  I believe VYS has teams in VPL as well.  Another FPYC neighbor (to the east), [url=http://ncsl-soccer.com/_element_display/#%2F80738%2Fteams%2Fclub%2F15599425.html%3Fdummy%3D1546623066134]Braddock Road Youth Club[/url] (<== link) lists 15 game venues (yes, some are duplicates) for 26 NCSL teams, before taking ENCL, CCL, and other leagues into account.

Oak Marr is shared by FPYC and Vienna. [/quote]
