Reply #11: League fees have gotten out of hand [View All]

[LisaM]

I played softball in Seattle for a number of years, and the fees for the fields just kept rising and rising (and we got less for it - fewer ballfield attendants, less field grooming). The final straw was when they outsourced the league director position. We were paying way more for fewer games, a league director was was never there or completely unaviable, no one to track the scores/standings on the field, plus we were paying some daycare fee for the community center. They effectively killed slow pitch softball in Seattle.

Re the bats - the coach should insist that they share.
