most kids on Looneys and FCA were also playing on rec teams until this year. Hoco league was built to coexist with rec. also all games in hoco are on turf fields in howard county, staffed with someone to do time/scoreboard. even though it may not be as competitive top to bottom - it is an easy league to play in from a coach/director admin perspective. you just show up - hoco parks and rec takes care of everything else
