[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]SYC has a field issue.

Fairfax County needs to put lights on every field at Hooes, not just one.

I do have to agree that for a club the size of SYC, why haven't the board or directors pushed for improvements to alleviate field problems?[/quote]

It's possible the people living in the neighborhoods around Hooes Road do not want lights on every field.   I don't think this is something the club can arbitrarily do. They have to go through the county.  Maybe it has been tried previously and the neighbors and county said no? I do not know. [/quote]

I'm on the board of a different sports organization in Fairfax County, and let me tell you the county is terrible about helping youth sports leagues (just look at old meeting minutes for the Fairfax County Athletic Council). We have 2 fields regularly permitted to us that we fought to get approval for lights at. 5 years later the approval has happened but there are still no lights.[/quote]

Sounds about right. FFX compared to PWC or Arlington has to be a challenge to promote youth sports. I've been to many different fields in the area and it doesn't matter the organization, they have to split the fields between a LOT of different programs. One big thing is most fields lose access to FXA right at 9pm I've noticed for whichever sport that have going.[/quote]

Quoted PP here. The prioritizing of adult sports over youth sports is ridiculous (and against their stated policies) and definitely happens.[/quote]
