[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Having had to try to field many PPA soccer and outdoor basketball teams for my three kids I will be the first to say it:  DC Parks and Rec is ridiculous.

Permits come in at the last second; They deny permits with no reason; They deny permits on perfectly good, usable fields all the time; They don't work with teams that have various early dismissal times or nearby schools. 
Bethesda and Arlington fields do not have these chronic permit issues.

I don't care about Maret taking over some field that was only willy nilly permitted half of each year. Most of DC fields, including in NW DC are vastly underutilized, despite the permit demand and paperwork being filed.

With my youngest child, PPA and I started applying to FOUR+ different NW DC fields in the hopes of getting a permit for Wed or Friday after school. Denied, denied, denied, Maybe. And we'd go by our 1st or 2nd choice field weeks in to the season - totally empty. Not getting reseeded either. Totally empty.

That's the big picture here. [/quote]

In the hours that Maret doesn't use Jelleff it is used intensively. It might be the most heavily-used field in all of DPR. It's probably in use 3,000 hours a year. [/quote]
