ARPA Member Question
Please Respond

Do any of you allow practice on your Soccer, Baseball, and Softball Game Fields?

If yes, is there any cost to your teams? Or extra cost to your registration fees for this sole reason?

If you do not allow practice, can you give just a short reason or two why not?

I know you are all very busy at this time of year, but it would help me out a great deal.

Thank you for your time and answers,

Roben R. Duncan
