Parents need to just factor in the cost to get in as part of their fees for the season. As much as it is a pain in the butt they have bills to pay as well to keep those facilities running. Also, last I checked a business usually likes to turn a profit.

You must have failed math. Sounds like someone else out there who can not comprehend economics. One dollar times two adults, possibly kids, grandparents multiplied by 10 plus weeks plus a tournament adds up to more than "no big difference". Personally I like the facility at Midwest just as good as SOAS and the officiating has to better then the bushleague refs at SOAS.

I thought they offered a season pass that people could purchase the first week of the season for like $30/$35 bucks?? This brings the price down considerably, and the deeper your team goes into the tournament, the better deal this becomes. Can anyone confirm if they still offer this option for this season? I think more people should take advantage of this offer. I believe it's an unlimited admission pass.

They still do, my wife bought one two weeks ago.

How were the games on Sunday, 11/15? Any games that stood out?

5th grade Wolfpack lost to the Heat by 1

I think you'll find that, especially on Sunday's, the core of SOAS officials are some of the best you'll get. I've been on Sat and Sun as both a coach and parent and have had little if any problems.

 

If anything, I think they are too liberal with most of the rules. They take more than most other places, seemingly in an effort to appease coaches. If you attend just about any high school (or higher) game, you'll notice that there is a certain amount of decorum used by players and staff. This seems missing in many of their teams.

I also believe that the refs at SOAS do a good job. Officiating is alot like coaching....you'll find some good ones and some bad ones. Overall they do a good job.

Does anybody know how the 2 5th grade teams (majic and wildcats) are doing in the sixth grade league?

Where is a good place to play Thanksgiving weekend? I am looking for a place for my 5th grade team where we can see some pretty good competition. I would prefer not to play on sunday so Friday and Saturday will be open.

I have been taking teams to SOAS for 6 years and I really have no problem with the officiating.

 

I have more of a problem with how some of the parents act like horse's patooties concerning the refereering in a CHILDRENS' game than the officiating.

I absolutely 100% agree. Coach your team and realize that calls will go against you. As a team adapt and overcome.
