REPORT ON 40 PLUS ADULT SOFTBALL LEAGUE FEES
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Pleasure of the Council/Available Alternatives
1. Increase the number of games and the quality of awards while maintain-
ing league fee of $225.
2. Reduce league fee and keep the same number of games~and awards.
3. Maintain reduced fee of $225o for 40 PLUS Softball.
BACKGROUND:
On April 24 the.managers of five out of six 40 Years Plus Softball teams met
with the Sports Division staff to discuss various details of the upcoming
Summer League. The staff proposal for the Summer League was identical to
that of the recently concluded Spring League with fees of $225 per team.
This fee covers awards, officials, equipment, field preparation, league
supervision and administration. However, the managers voiced concerns about
the proposed $225 fee. They are requesting six additional games and up-
graded awards for the same $225 fee. It should be noted that this league
has been charged a reduced fee in view of non-prime time, no need for lights,
and to promote a new program that is the only one of its kind in Orange County.
It should be equally noted that due to the developing nature of the program,
it requires almost double the amount of supervisory time as that of a regular
night league. To be specific, much more time is spent at the site on
Sundays and additional time.is spent in the formation of teams, securing
managers, arranging fields for practice, et cetera.
It is anticipated that this extra time will be reduced to normal standards
within a one year period.
