[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I checked the fliers for Stars. Last year we paid $850 for ten games plus the two tournament games (teams get 1-3 games in the tournament).

This year it would be $750 for 6 games plus a tournament.

Obviously a huge price increase (regular season $125 per game vs. $85 per game) and like pp mentioned, half our games last season weren't competitive because there was only one division and our 6th gr AAU team was mixed in with regular 6th gr teams. Pre-covid, this league had the AAU teams play up one grade so the games were more even.

There is a loudoun league SOLO is running but not super convenient depending on where you are in Fairfax. (Not like the Stars league games were at convenient gyms either though!). It's $950 for 8 games plus a tournament. All the Loudoun gyms are nice, at least. We had Stars league games in terrible gyms some years. (Like going cross ways in old gyms to get two games on one court, and things like "out of bounds is where the bleachers start". Safe!)

Our first game with stars was on a court running perpendicular to the main court with another game going on beside it. There were no side lines at all  [/quote]

We played at some crappy old middle school in Annandale and they said out of bounds were the bleachers there, too. Our coach insisted the game be called a scrimmage because he did not want the kids colliding into the bleachers and hurting themselves, and he made the Stars schedule a make up game on a real court. They always try to get away with these cheap-ass shenanigans to save money.
