So let me get this straight.  If a club is “over capacity” then they should still charge the extra families for fees and then use that as justification for keeping unsafe fields instead of setting a max capacity of families and stick to safe fields.  Of course in this situation the club is completely without fault.   Not to mention the County.  Clearly the parents fault.

Does that sound about right?

One might think in left leaning, paternalistic Montgomery County someone might take issue with a large bog being used for children’s soccer.   I guess there isn’t enough tax revenue there.   But that’s a discussion for another forum.

I don't know why you use the word "fault" like it's some kind of moralistic issue.

Soccer clubs are private entities, they do what is in their best interest. The limiting factor on what programs are offered is people's willingness to sign up for them, not the availability of facilities. If people keep signing up they'll put the programs wherever they can.

It's like complaining about a restaurant having long wait times for a table. The only reason that's possible is that the customers are willing to put up with it. [/quote]

That’s interesting.  Virginia clubs have a lot of practices and games on public fields.  I’m actually shocked that the opposite is true in Montgomery County.  Safety issues are a government issue to me.  Having kids with rolled ankles because of sinkholes in a boggy field should bear some liability for the “private entity.”  [/quote]

I think you're really stretching it to say there's some sort of compelling danger to public safety to kids playing soccer on lumpy fields. [/quote]

I would say that the health benefit of exercise outweighs the danger of injury, even on an uneven field. [/quote]
