[QUOTE="CoronaBorealis, post: 3829043, member: 43847"] Why don't cities offer youth sports anymore? Norman and Moore have both farmed their youth softball, baseball and soccer leagues out to private organizations. When I was a kid, my parents paid $40 to the Parks and Rec department, I was put on a team and given a jersey, and we had practices and games. I've been looking into softball for my daughter and at 6 years old, you have to either (1) have a team or (2) sign up as an individual and get placed on a team. Then there are $300 league fees, pay at the plate fees, jersey fees, and tournament fees. Come on man. I'm not looking to get her in the pipeline to play for Patti Gasso in 12 years. Just want her to go out and have fun on a ball field. The only option for soccer in Norman is NYSA, which is stupid expensive and basically a college-prep soccer pipeline from what I've seen. That's why we had her play for the city of Moore last year. I looked into it again this fall, and Moore farmed their youth soccer program out to the Moore Soccer Association. Does anyone have any experience with the Ball Clubs of Norman or Moore Girls Softball Association? Is it really as complicated as it appears? [/QUOTE]
