So why don't they do something about it? The HOCO league is not a rec league administered by the county but the county does control the fields. They don't have to rent to any league or private club. They could say rent only to age based teams and point to safety and insurance reasons for it. There isn't anything particularly special about a lacrosse league. Soccer would absorb those fields no problem. Other sports would as well. The club guys wil never listen. But the HOCO administration -- they work for you. They are elected or appointed employees of the county or state. I'm not sure it would make a difference because the club owners would just flip over to private school field rentals and charge more.
