BOTC - US Lacrosse Community Forum Forums NORTHEAST LACROSSE BOTC MAIN FORUM (LI, CT, WC) Money Grab Lax...is it all too much?

Most districts require 50% of the kids be from the school. Board members of PAL clubs that are double dipping with travel teams as coaches are ussually the ones that are bending/breaking the rules and tearing up our school fields.

Tearing up the fields? Are you guys kidding me? Would you rather the kids sit on their [lacrosse] and play video games? Are the fields supposed to sit empty and unused? Where is anyone supposed to practice? If I am from Mt Sinai do I need to pay a fee to use Farmingdale's track to walk or run on? Of course not. Your argument is really off base. I applaud these coaches for keeping the kids organized and playing because it sounds as if they were not participating in these practices and wandering the street you all would complain about that as well.

Also it is important to recognize that the groups and/or clubs are still performing a service for these kids even though it may be paid for that service. I think they should be permitted to use the fields (with a permit ifrequired) at no cost.

"At no cost"?

Those days are winding down if not already over my friend. Municipalities and school districts cannot afford such benevolence. In the old days you could do a lot of things, including using fields, at no cost. You could also organize 5K races and parades, etc. as long as your motives were pure. Today parade organizers pay for cop/sanitation overtime and organizations who want to use fields pay for them as well. As a taxpayer I don't want a private company using our fields for nothing. We have to maintain them, not to mention village maintenacne having to pick up the water bottles, garbage and everything else left behind after practices or tournamnets. Fields are there to be used by kids -- agree 100% -- but no such thing as a free lunch in today's day and age.

As in every business, the cost will be passed on to the consumer.

Rock bottom

You must be new....not even close to rock bottom.

But the poster making fun of a 12 year old is close. Now... Back to the topic at hand. WAAAAYYYYY too many clinics being offered and how are they getting our email addresses?

How many catalogs are filling your mailbox? Just delete the emails and throw away the catalogs. Or when you get an email - UNSUBSCRIBE.

You don't have to do everything. Pick and choose what to do... don't get caught up keeping up.
