ALL ADULT SPORTS IN FAIRFAX COUNTY NEED YOUR HELP!!!!

It has come to our attention that the Fairfax County Athletic Council has revised the county's Field Allocation Policy and it is up for approval by the Board of Supervisors within the next few weeks. As part of the revision they have included the following wording that will allow youth leagues to use the Turf & Softball Fields weekdays until 9PM (see below).

Section IV: Limitations on Facility Use, Section B:
Time designated for youth activities may run until approximately 9PM Adults may start before 9PM if time is not needed for youth or in accordance with existing, written agreement. Use times may be modified to accommodate restrictions in place for a particular field, and this is particularly applicable to fields with lights. The dates of availability of FCPA fields are defined by FCPA Park Regulations.

What does this mean for you???
Currently, soccer games are 80 minutes (two 40 minute halves) which allows for 2 games per field while our flag football games are 60 minutes which allow for 3 games per field with an 8PM - 11PM time slot. We believe that if this passes, we will no longer be able to have multiple games on a field per night and the availability of enough turf fields for all the leagues in the area will drastically reduce. This means ALL adult sports (flag football, soccer, lacrosse, softball, kickball, etc.) will be needing/fighting for more field space (which we don’t currently have) in a smaller windo... more

Buy your own damned turf fields if they are so important to you. They need to rip these up and replace them with classrooms.

No one gives a crap about these leagues except the leagues. Feel the budget pinch along with everyone else.

OP

I surmise that you were also an OBAMA supporter until 4 years later when YOUR taxes went up.

The later start time for adult field time was discussed in depth during the 'debate' over later school start times. Where was your petition then?

Fuck, you can't make up how much the liberal OP hates children and their development. You sucked at sports as a kid so fuck you!

Starting school an hour later allows children to sleep longer so they can play soccer until 9:00 pm. What's wrong with that?

Adults can play their games during their lunch hour at work, as described in the Tysons Corner master plan.

Exactly. Let the adult groups who invested $100,000 or more in turf fields play on them. Fuck the groups that want free use, who pay their organizers and administrators quite well.

^^ Wish someone could write that as a policy statement.
