November 08, 2024
Parks and Recreation Board
David Miller, Director of Community Services
Recommendation on renewal of the Southlake Tennis Center
Management Agreement
Action
Requested: Park Board recommendation on the renewal of the Southlake Tennis
Center Management Agreement.
Background
Information: Roxy Tennis LLC has provided management of the Southlake tennis
Center since 2002. The current agreement between the City of
Southlake and Roxy Tennis, LLC was approved for renewal by City
Council on September 21, 2021, for management of the Southlake
Tennis Center for a term set to expire on December 31, 2024.
The proposed renewal is for a three (3) year term, January 1, 2025 -
December 31, 2027, and would be the final renewal option within the
current agreement.
In 2024, the Southlake Tennis Center was recognized by The United
States Tennis Association (USTA) as a Premier Facility. There are
only 50 facilities in the United States that have received this
recognition, and the Southlake Tennis Center is one of two in the
state of Texas. The USTA Texas Section nominated the Southlake
Tennis Center based on excellence in adult & junior programing,
Tournaments, Leagues, and staff training.
In addition, the Southlake Tennis Center has maintained a positive
relationship with the USTA. Mia Gordan currently sits on the USTA
National Advisory Board for adult beginner tennis, and recently
spoke at the USTA meetings at the US Open and at the Texas
Section Tournament Director's Workshop. This past year, the
Southlake Tennis Center became certified as a USTA Safe Play
Facility. Working alongside the U.S. Center for SafeSport and the
United States Olympic and Paralympic Committee, Roxy Tennis
developed safety policies and resources to achieve this
certification. All staff, including instructors and pro shop employees

are required by Roxy Tennis to maintain Safe Play status with
USTA.
City staff also conducted an annual customer satisfaction survey with
Tennis Center patrons utilizing the Net Promoter Score (NPS)
system to gauge customer satisfaction. The current contract requires
the Southlake Tennis Center to achieve a minimum Net Promoter
Score (NPS) of 65. The survey received 413 responses from
September 1st through October 31, 2024, with an overall Net
Promoter Score (NPS) of 76.33. A Net Promoter Score (NPS) of 70
or higher is considered world -class and indicates that the Southlake
Tennis Center has a large group of promoters who are satisfied with
our services and likely to recommend them to others.
Based on the performance of Roxy Tennis, LLC throughout the
existing agreement, staff recommends a renewal of the agreement
for the management of the Southlake Tennis Center.
Financial
Considerations: The Contractor is responsible for all staffing, equipment, supplies,
telephone, food & beverage, and retail inventory costs. The
Contractor pays the city 20% of gross revenue for leagues and 25%
of gross revenue for tournament play (approximately $18.000 -
$21,000 annually). In no event will the annual payment to the City
be less than $15,000.
Strategic Link: This item is linked to the City's Strategy Map related to the focus area
of Performance Management and Service Delivery and meets the
Corporate Objectives to Collaborate with Select Partners to
Implement Service Solutions.
Citizen Input/
Board Review: Parks & Recreation Board consideration November 11, 2024
City Council consideration December 03, 2024
Legal Review: City Attorney has reviewed the agreement.
Alternatives: Recommendation to renew the Southlake Tennis Center

changes.

Provide and maintain high quality parks and community facilities within budget
Ensure the cost effective and efficient investment of taxpayer dollars on infrastructure
Improve quality of life through progressive implementation of Southlake's Comprehensive
Plan recommendations.
III. Athletic Field Allocations
With the ongoing development of the park system, the City Council has made it a priority to
ensure a full range of athletic opportunities are available to Southlake citizens.
The City directly manages several year-round athletic programs in-house, but also partners with
local, volunteer managed athletic associations to offer several other year-round athletic
programs. These partnerships are authorized by the City Council through a Parks Facility
Utilization Agreement (FUA).
An FUA is an agreement between the City and an athletic association that desires to lease the
City's athletic facilities to provide an athletic program for the recreation, use, benefit, and
enjoyment of Southlake residents and the general public.
The City Council determines who the City will lease its athletic facilities to, and will make final
decisions on the authorization and termination of all FUA's at their discretion.
The following is a guideline and list of criteria developed by the City Council to assist them in
making their determination when considering the eligibility of a potential FUA partner.
• The City will authorize only one FUA per sport except in the case where there is a
gender specific designation with the sport.
• The program must prioritize Southlake residents.
• The program must make recreational level play a priority.
• Clubs, academies, select programs, independent teams, etc., will not be considered.
• The program must be recognized by and affiliated with a regional, state or national
sanctioning body organization.
• The program must provide and maintain liability insurance coverage naming the City as
additionally insured.
• The program must prove and maintain 501 c3 status.
• The program's board must be representative of all ages and genders.
• The program's board must have procedures in place for handling program concerns.
• The program's board must have an adequate method for selecting coaches and
evaluating coaches background checks.
• By signing the FUA, the program certifies that it meets these qualifications.
The City's goal is to provide outstanding athletic fields, which meet the Southlake standard, for
the uses detailed below in priority order:
1. Recreational level league games, practices and league tournaments offered by the City and
approved athletic associations, where the teams are primarily made up of Southlake
residents (Seasonal field allocations will be prioritized based on the primary season for
each sport - see below)
2. Non -organized field/court usage (i.e., open play) on a first -come, first -served basis by
Southlake residents (on fields that are not locked or closed for maintenance)
2
DocuSign Envelope ID: ED391943-BDE7-46FA-BDD3-4542381A2DOE
3. Higher level (i.e., select level) league games and practices offered by the City, approved
athletic associations and the CISD, once the needs at the recreational level are met. Priority
will be given to higher level teams primarily made up of Southlake residents over teams that
are not (Seasonal field allocations will be prioritized based on the primary season for each
sport - see below)
4. Field/court rentals by Southlake residents for exclusive personal use (no organized team
use)
5. Field/court rentals by Southlake businesses & non -profits for infrequent use (such as for a
corporate or church event, fee based sports clinics, etc.)
6. Tournament play (see Tournament section below)
7. Field/court rentals by non-Southlake residents for exclusive personal use (no organized
team use)
8. Field/court rentals by non-Southlake businesses & non -profits for infrequent use (such as for
a corporate or church event, fee based sports clinics, etc.)
To ensure athletic fields are maintained to the Southlake standard, the City designates fields as
either Game Fields or Practice Fields. Game Fields are designated for City managed or
approved athletic association league games and tournament play. Practice Fields are
designated for City managed or approved athletic association league practices and
scrimmages.
Seasonal field allocations will be prioritized based on the primary season (i.e., when sanctioned
league games are played) for each sport. Primary seasons for each sport are as follows:
Spring Baseball, City Flag Football, Lacrosse, Soccer and Softball
Summer Softball
Fall Baseball, City Flag Football, Football, Soccer and Softball
The City reserves the right to allocate the usage of all City owned fields for City programs and
for approved athletic association programs as deemed appropriate by the Director of
Community Services. The City will have priority for any City event.
The City does not allocate, nor rent athletic fields or athletic courts for organized team use;
77
unless the team is officially registered in either a City managed athletic program or an approved
athletic association program.
In addition to the game fields the City allocates for approved athletic association league games,
the City also allocates the required number of practice fields to meet the athletic association's
program needs for practices each season.
The athletic association may distribute the total hours of practice space allocated as they see fit
to meet the needs of their program (i.e., the athletic association determines how many hours per
week their participants practice, not the City).
To maximize the use of each athletic facility, the total hours of practice space allocated is based
on the number of teams registered per season the previous year. The allocation may be
adjusted to accommodate any increase or decrease in league participation for the current
season.
To develop the total number of practices hours allocated, the City, in utilizing the recent field
requirements of the approved athletic associations as a guide, has developed the following
formula to calculate the total hours of practice space allocated to each association seasonally.
The formula is consistent with the National Standards for Youth Sports as recommended by the
3
DocuSign Envelope ID: ED391943-BDE7-46FA-BDD3-4542381A2DOE
National Alliance for Youth Sports organization. Three (3) hours of practice space, per team, per
week for youth (10 & under), and six (6) hours of practice space, per team, per week for middle
school aged (11 & up). The City will allocate an additional 10% of practice space, beyond the
number of hours of practice space per team, per week, to account for potential field closures
related to inclement weather.
The City will make the allocations no less than thirty (30) days prior to the start of practices for
each season. The allocations will be specific to the park, complex, field, day and time.
The athletic association will only have access to the specific fields allocated and only on the
days and times allocated.
Athletic facilities may only be used by the approved athletic associations during the following
days and times for season practices and games.

Park and Recreation Board
David Miller, Director of Community Services
Recommendation on a Facilities Utilization Agreement with
Grapevine Southlake Soccer Association
Action Requested: Park Board recommendation on a Facilities Utilization
Agreement with Grapevine Southlake Soccer Association for
2025.
Background
Information: The city coordinates with several Southlake youth athletic
associations to provide youth sports programs to residents.
Use of all City -owned athletic fields is authorized by the City
Council through a Facilities Utilization Agreement (FUA).
The proposed FUA with Grapevine Southlake Soccer
Association (GSSA) is an agreement to provide athletic
fields for the soccer program from January 1, 2025 —
December 31, 2025.
This year, the GSSA FUA went through some minor
changes to further align with how their organization is
operating. Please see a description of those changes below:
• Section 1 - Scope of Services: Reworded "youth
recreational soccer program" to "recreational soccer
program."
• Section 2 - Terms of Agreement: Added the summer
season with the note, "Recreational Summer Seasons
practices and games are allowed based on the Park
Maintenance schedule (per Park Manager) and not
previous year registrations."
• Additionally, item number four was added to Section 2,
stating, "The ASSOCIATION may have skills clinics
scheduled, typically on Mondays, led by paid instructors
during a corresponding season. Instructors shall be in
GSSA-marked apparel. At no time shall the paid

instructors be allowed to conduct any additional
services or field usage for non-GSSA teams or players."
• Section 4 - Field Maintenance Fees: Non-resident fees
are now included in this agreement to due an increase in
non -grapevine and non-Southlake residents participating
in the program. The change now reads, "Non-resident
fees of $17.00 per non-resident player per season for
those players who do not reside in Southlake or
Grapevine. These fees will be assessed for 50% of the
non -Grapevine or Southlake residents."
A copy of the proposed FUA with GSSA is attached for your
consideration.
The City Council will consider the proposed FUA at their
meeting on November 19, 2024.
Financial
Considerations: The Association will pay field maintenance fees of $12.00 per
resident per season, to assist the City with offsetting a portion
of the maintenance and operations costs. If the proposed
changes are approved, the Association will now also pay field
maintenance fees for 50% of non -Grapevine and non-
Southlake residents at the approved $17.00 non-resident rate.
Strategic Link: This item is linked to the City's Strategy Map related to the
Focus Areas of Partnerships & Volunteerism and
Performance Management & Service Delivery and meets the
Corporate Objective to Collaborate with select partners to
implement service solutions.

Plan recommendations.
III. Athletic Field Allocations
With the ongoing development of the park system, the City Council has made it a priority to
ensure a full range of athletic opportunities are available to Southlake citizens.
The City directly manages several year-round athletic programs in-house, but also partners with
local, volunteer managed athletic associations to offer several other year-round athletic
programs. These partnerships are authorized by the City Council through a Parks Facility
Utilization Agreement (FUA).
An FUA is an agreement between the City and an athletic association that desires to lease the
City's athletic facilities to provide an athletic program for the recreation, use, benefit, and
enjoyment of Southlake residents and the general public.
The City Council determines who the City will lease its athletic facilities to, and will make final
decisions on the authorization and termination of all FUA's at their discretion.
The following is a guideline and list of criteria developed by the City Council to assist them in
making their determination when considering the eligibility of a potential FUA partner.
• The City will authorize only one FUA per sport except in the case where there is a
gender specific designation with the sport.
• The program must prioritize Southlake residents.
• The program must make recreational level play a priority.
• Clubs, academies, select programs, independent teams, etc., will not be considered.
• The program must be recognized by and affiliated with a regional, state or national
sanctioning body organization.
• The program must provide and maintain liability insurance coverage naming the City as
additionally insured.
• The program must prove and maintain 501 c3 status.
• The program's board must be representative of all ages and genders.
• The program's board must have procedures in place for handling program concerns.
• The program's board must have an adequate method for selecting coaches and
evaluating coaches background checks.
• By signing the FUA, the program certifies that it meets these qualifications.
The City's goal is to provide outstanding athletic fields, which meet the Southlake standard, for
the uses detailed below in priority order:
Recreational level league games, practices and league tournaments offered by the City and
approved athletic associations, where the teams are primarily made up of Southlake
residents (Seasonal field allocations will be prioritized based on the primary season for
each sport - see below)
Non -organized field/court usage (i.e., open play) on a first -come, first -served basis by
Southlake residents (on fields that are not locked or closed for maintenance)
2
DocuSign Envelope ID: 182A8F54-492E-425A-8742-30494508EE61
3. Higher level (i.e., select level) league games and practices offered by the City, approved
athletic associations and the CISD, once the needs at the recreational level are met. Priority
will be given to higher level teams primarily made up of Southlake residents over teams that
are not (Seasonal field allocations will be prioritized based on the primary season for each
sport - see below)
4. Field/court rentals by Southlake residents for exclusive personal use (no organized team
use)
5. Field/court rentals by Southlake businesses & non -profits for infrequent use (such as for a
corporate or church event, fee based sports clinics, etc.)
6. Tournament play (see Tournament section below)
7. Field/court rentals by non-Southlake residents for exclusive personal use (no organized
team use)
8. Field/court rentals by non-Southlake businesses & non -profits for infrequent use (such as for
a corporate or church event, fee based sports clinics, etc.)
To ensure athletic fields are maintained to the Southlake standard, the City designates fields as
either Game Fields or Practice Fields. Game Fields are designated for City managed or
approved athletic association league games and tournament play. Practice Fields are
designated for City managed or approved athletic association league practices and
scrimmages.
Seasonal field allocations will be prioritized based on the primary season (i.e., when sanctioned
league games are played) for each sport. Primary seasons for each sport are as follows:
Spring Baseball, City Flag Football, Lacrosse, Soccer and Softball
Summer Softball
Fall Baseball, City Flag Football, Football, Soccer and Softball
The City reserves the right to allocate the usage of all City owned fields for City programs and
for approved athletic association programs as deemed appropriate by the Director of
Community Services. The City will have priority for any City event.
The City does not allocate, nor rent athletic fields or athletic courts for organized team use;
unless the team is officially registered in either a City managed athletic program or an approved
athletic association program.
In addition to the game fields the City allocates for approved athletic association league games,
the City also allocates the required number of practice fields to meet the athletic association's
program needs for practices each season.
The athletic association may distribute the total hours of practice space allocated as they see fit
to meet the needs of their program (i.e., the athletic association determines how many hours per
week their participants practice, not the City).
To maximize the use of each athletic facility, the total hours of practice space allocated is based
on the number of teams registered per season the previous year. The allocation may be
adjusted to accommodate any increase or decrease in league participation for the current
season.
To develop the total number of practices hours allocated, the City, in utilizing the recent field
requirements of the approved athletic associations as a guide, has developed the following
formula to calculate the total hours of practice space allocated to each association seasonally.
The formula is consistent with the National Standards for Youth Sports as recommended by the
DocuSign Envelope ID: 1B2A8F54-492E-425A-8742-30494508EE61
National Alliance for Youth Sports organization. Three (3) hours of practice space, per team, per
week for youth (10 & under), and six (6) hours of practice space, per team, per week for middle
school aged (11 & up). The City will allocate an additional 10% of practice space, beyond the
number of hours of practice space per team, per week, to account for potential field closures
related to inclement weather.
The City will make the allocations no less than thirty (30) days prior to the start of practices for
each season. The allocations will be specific to the park, complex, field, day and time.
The athletic association will only have access to the specific fields allocated and only on the
days and times allocated.
Athletic facilities may only be used by the approved athletic associations during the following
days and times for season practices and games.

Provide and maintain high quality parks and community facilities within budget
Ensure the cost effective and efficient investment of taxpayer dollars on infrastructure
Improve quality of life through progressive implementation of Southlake's Comprehensive
Plan recommendations.
111. Athletic Field Allocations
With the ongoing development of the park system, the City Council has made it a priority to
ensure a full range of athletic opportunities are available to Southlake citizens.
The City directly manages several year-round athletic programs in-house, but also partners with
local, volunteer managed athletic associations to offer several other year-round athletic
programs. These partnerships are authorized by the City Council through a Parks Facility
Utilization Agreement (FUA).
An FUA is an agreement between the City and an athletic association that desires to lease the
City's athletic facilities to provide an athletic program for the recreation, use, benefit, and
enjoyment of Southlake residents and the general public.
The City Council determines who the City will lease its athletic facilities to, and will make final
decisions on the authorization and termination of all FUA's at their discretion.
The following is a guideline and list of criteria developed by the City Council to assist them in
making their determination when considering the eligibility of a potential FUA partner.
• The City will authorize only one FUA per sport except in the case where there is a
gender specific designation with the sport.
• The program must prioritize Southlake residents.
• The program must make recreational level play a priority.
• Clubs, academies, select programs, independent teams, etc., will not be considered.
• The program must be recognized by and affiliated with a regional, state or national
sanctioning body organization.
• The program must provide and maintain liability insurance coverage naming the City as
additionally insured.
• The program must prove and maintain 501c3 status.
• The program's board must be representative of all ages and genders.
• The program's board must have procedures in place for handling program concerns.
• The program's board must have an adequate method for selecting coaches and
evaluating coaches background checks.
• By signing the FUA, the program certifies that it meets these qualifications.
The City's goal is to provide outstanding athletic fields, which meet the Southlake standard, for
the uses detailed below in priority order:
1. Recreational level league games, practices and league tournaments offered by the City and
approved athletic associations, where the teams are primarily made up of Southlake
residents (Seasonal field allocations will be prioritized based on the primary season for
each sport - see below)
2. Non -organized field/court usage (i.e., open play) on a first -come, first -served basis by
Southlake residents (on fields that are not locked or closed for maintenance)
N
DocuSign Envelope ID: D1656D8A-2988-4E23-AE56-2E63ECC34412
3. Higher level (i.e., select level) league games and practices offered by the City, approved
athletic associations and the CISD, once the needs at the recreational level are met. Priority
will be given to higher level teams primarily made up of Southlake residents over teams that
are not (Seasonal field allocations will be prioritized based on the primary season for each
sport - see below)
4. Field/court rentals by Southlake residents for exclusive personal use (no organized team
use)
5. Field/court rentals by Southlake businesses & non -profits for infrequent use (such as for a
corporate or church event, fee based sports clinics, etc.)
6. Tournament play (see Tournament section below)
7. Field/court rentals by non-Southlake residents for exclusive personal use (no organized
team use)
8. Field/court rentals by non-Southlake businesses & non -profits for infrequent use (such as for
a corporate or church event, fee based sports clinics, etc.)
To ensure athletic fields are maintained to the Southlake standard, the City designates fields as
either Game Fields or Practice Fields. Game Fields are designated for City managed or
approved athletic association league games and tournament play. Practice Fields are
designated for City managed or approved athletic association league practices and
scrimmages.
Seasonal field allocations will be prioritized based on the primary season (i.e., when sanctioned
league games are played) for each sport. Primary seasons for each sport are as follows:
Spring Baseball, City Flag Football, Lacrosse, Soccer and Softball
Summer Softball
Fall Baseball, City Flag Football, Football, Soccer and Softball
The City reserves the right to allocate the usage of all City owned fields for City programs and
for approved athletic association programs as deemed appropriate by the Director of
Community Services. The City will have priority for any City event.
The City does not allocate, nor rent athletic fields or athletic courts for organized team use;
unless the team is officially registered in either a City managed athletic program or an approved
athletic association program.
In addition to the game fields the City allocates for approved athletic association league games,
the City also allocates the required number of practice fields to meet the athletic association's
program needs for practices each season.
The athletic association may distribute the total hours of practice space allocated as they see fit
to meet the needs of their program (i.e., the athletic association determines how many hours per
week their participants practice, not the City).
To maximize the use of each athletic facility, the total hours of practice space allocated is based
on the number of teams registered per season the previous year. The allocation may be
adjusted to accommodate any increase or decrease in league participation for the current
season.
To develop the total number of practices hours allocated, the City, in utilizing the recent field
requirements of the approved athletic associations as a guide, has developed the following
formula to calculate the total hours of practice space allocated to each association seasonally.
The formula is consistent with the National Standards for Youth Sports as recommended by the
3
DocuSign Envelope ID: D1656D8A-2988-4E23-AE56-2E63ECC34412
National Alliance for Youth Sports organization. Three (3) hours of practice space, per team, per
week for youth (10 & under), and six (6) hours of practice space, per team, per week for middle
school aged (11 & up). The City will allocate an additional 10% of practice space, beyond the
number of hours of practice space per team, per week, to account for potential field closures
related to inclement weather.
The City will make the allocations no less than thirty (30) days prior to the start of practices for
each season. The allocations will be specific to the park, complex, field, day and time.
The athletic association will only have access to the specific fields allocated and only on the
days and times allocated.
Athletic facilities may only be used by the approved athletic associations during the following
days and times for season practices and games.

Improve quality of life through progressive implementation of Southlake's Comprehensive
Plan recommendations.
III. Athletic Field Allocations
With the ongoing development of the park system, the City Council has made it a priority to
ensure a full range of athletic opportunities are available to Southlake citizens.
The City directly manages several year-round athletic programs in-house, but also partners with
local, volunteer managed athletic associations to offer several other year-round athletic
programs. These partnerships are authorized by the City Council through a Parks Facility
Utilization Agreement (FUA).
An FUA is an agreement between the City and an athletic association that desires to lease the
City's athletic facilities to provide an athletic program for the recreation, use, benefit, and
enjoyment of Southlake residents and the general public.
The City Council determines who the City will lease its athletic facilities to, and will make final
decisions on the authorization and termination of all FUA's at their discretion.
The following is a guideline and list of criteria developed by the City Council to assist them in
making their determination when considering the eligibility of a potential FUA partner.
• The City will authorize only one FUA per sport except in the case where there is a
gender specific designation with the sport.
• The program must prioritize Southlake residents.
• The program must make recreational level play a priority.
• Clubs, academies, select programs, independent teams, etc., will not be considered.
• The program must be recognized by and affiliated with a regional, state or national
sanctioning body organization.
• The program must provide and maintain liability insurance coverage naming the City as
additionally insured.
• The program must prove and maintain 501 c3 status.
• The program's board must be representative of all ages and genders.
• The program's board must have procedures in place for handling program concerns.
• The program's board must have an adequate method for selecting coaches and
evaluating coaches background checks.
• By signing the FUA, the program certifies that it meets these qualifications.
The City's goal is to provide outstanding athletic fields, which meet the Southlake standard, for
the uses detailed below in priority order:
1. Recreational level league games, practices and league tournaments offered by the City and
approved athletic associations, where the teams are primarily made up of Southlake

3. Higher level (i.e., select level) league games and practices offered by the City, approved

sport - see below)
4. Field/court rentals by Southlake residents for exclusive personal use (no organized team

To ensure athletic fields are maintained to the Southlake standard, the City designates fields as
either Game Fields or Practice Fields. Game Fields are designated for City managed or
approved athletic association league games and tournament play. Practice Fields are
designated for City managed or approved athletic association league practices and
scrimmages.
Seasonal field allocations will be prioritized based on the primary season (i.e., when sanctioned
league games are played) for each sport. Primary seasons for each sport are as follows:
Spring Baseball, City Flag Football, Lacrosse, Soccer and Softball
Summer Softball
Fall Baseball, City Flag Football, Football, Soccer and Softball
The City reserves the right to allocate the usage of all City owned fields for City programs and
for approved athletic association programs as deemed appropriate by the Director of
Community Services. The City will have priority for any City event.
The City does not allocate, nor rent athletic fields or athletic courts for organized team use;
unless the team is officially registered in either a City managed athletic program or an approved
athletic association program.
In addition to the game fields the City allocates for approved athletic association league games,
the City also allocates the required number of practice fields to meet the athletic association's
program needs for practices each season.
The athletic association may distribute the total hours of practice space allocated as they see fit
to meet the needs of their program (i.e., the athletic association determines how many hours per
week their participants practice, not the City).
To maximize the use of each athletic facility, the total hours of practice space allocated is based
on the number of teams registered per season the previous year. The allocation may be
adjusted to accommodate any increase or decrease in league participation for the current
season.
To develop the total number of practices hours allocated, the City, in utilizing the recent field
requirements of the approved athletic associations as a guide, has developed the following
formula to calculate the total hours of practice space allocated to each association seasonally.
The formula is consistent with the National Standards for Youth Sports as recommended by the
3
DocuSign Envelope ID: F3819821-8EFA-41AC-9475-9DC2EB114C6A
National Alliance for Youth Sports organization. Three (3) hours of practice space, per team, per
week for youth (10 & under), and six (6) hours of practice space, per team, per week for middle
school aged (11 & up). The City will allocate an additional 10% of practice space, beyond the
number of hours of practice space per team, per week, to account for potential field closures
related to inclement weather.
The City will make the allocations no less than thirty (30) days prior to the start of practices for
each season. The allocations will be specific to the park, complex, field, day and time.
The athletic association will only have access to the specific fields allocated and only on the
days and times allocated.
Athletic facilities may only be used by the approved athletic associations during the following
days and times for season practices and games.
