Stereotype much?
It's hard to argue with the truth. Why do you think that these pickup players want to avoid proper channels to register for a field time?
I'm sorry, but illegals should be deported. It would solve a lot of problems and save social service spending, school slots and even free up scarce laying fields. Hasta la vista, amigos.

Except it was a needless racial dig - race has nothing to do with the issue at hand. PP inserted it.
Who mentioned race?!

IMHE those pick up players can be organized amongst themselves. The WP photo doesn't show 50 families with 6 year olds decked out for soccer. I posted this because these private pick up groups monopolized numerous fields which were paid for by youth sports organizations when my kids were young.

This "permitted groups, particularly youth groups, feel intimidated or threatened when trying to get an unpermitted group to leave." in an old article can apply anywhere https://patch.com/virginia/mclean/proposal-require-permits-for-groups-of-more-than-20-pb51bba99b7
Taxes go into fields for construction and maintenance. Money from permits helps with maintenance costs and the permit process helps with field condition and longevity.
These pick-up games /use are not a few parents kicking around a ball with little kids. Teams of adults.

It's not a DPR field, it's a DGS field. The law requires that DGS charge market rates. The way that they settle disputes is by raising the rate, when supply equals demand you've found the market rate.
The pickup players were illegally jumping the fence.
Shoddy reporting on Popville?!?? My stars!
The dimwit who runs that site freely admits his main goal is web traffic, not journalism. The fact that 75 percent of his posts are unsubstantiated reader emails should tip you off. One of these days he's gonna run one that will get him in trouble, and then bye bye Poopville. Can't wait.

Are these pick-up games largely the same groups of adults or parents with random kids? There were some fields in VA where non-permit groups from many areas congregated and even brought grills every week.
