I have a son that participates and I have helped coach his teams for the past 3 years in the Avenues League. It is ridiculous that fees are even charged and that fees have been raised to this amount. The league is ran completely by volunteers and the majority if not all of the maintenance done on the fields is done by volunteers (other than weekly mowing of grass if that even happens). The fields are filled with animal holes, wasps, and fire ants and after seeing fields in other surrounding cities, the conditions are an embarrassment and certainly should be a free for residents and for a non profit recreation level league.
