Amazing! LFO does something no other school in the state of Georgia has done, and yet, not one person posts a comment on here. Yet, if it had been something negative....there'd be 10 or 20 posts!

Congrats LFO, and keep up the good work!

To answer your lottery question Maggie, to my knowledge, school systems receive lottery money only for Pre-K programs now. In fact, the reason for the coupon book sale in the county is to raise technology monies because the Catoosa schools are not receiving that money from the lottery anymore.

In response to the contribution comment, I can tell you that close to 100% participation is a joke at the middle and high school levels. Perhaps at the elementary levels, but not 6-12.

Mr. Laney,
I would be willing to try and help find a responsible soccer minded individual who could do what you are asking for soccer in the Fort. O. rec league. I, being a soccer person in county, have several contacts that I would ask to see what there interest level is.

I would also like to add, that it might be important to have a small community of soccer individuals who can float ideas, brainstorm, as well as split work related duties so that the "1 person working the fields all day on a Saturday" can be avoided.

In my opinion, it always helps to have more than one mind in the mix to come up with ideas and how to implement certain things. Fort O, and LMS and LFO respectively need a good soccer rec league in order ot be able to compete with the Ringgold, and Heritage(Boynton) rec leagues. When Heritage high school opens, all soccer programs at LMS and RMS, as well as LFO and RHS will possibly get torn apart because of redistricting.

Thats why its so important to have a well established feeder recreation program for Fort O, as well as Ringgold and Boynton so that all leagues will be producing good players for all the schools in the county.

Let me know how I can help, and we'll see what we can get done.

I would love to come to the next recreation meeting, but I never know when they are having them. Where can I find the schedule of the rec meetings? Perhaps I should call.

Once the fields are made and the goals are bought, soccer can be one of the cheapest sports for a rec association to run year after year. There isn't much upkeep, and it allows alot of kids to all be moving and playing and having a good time.

NorthGACitizen, I hope that you are right and that at least one of the associations has soccer and the rest will follow suit.

The fact that 2 of the recreation departments are "holding onto" their money is disturbing. I have recently moved into Catoosa and been to all the parks, and have been disappointed not to see any soccer fields. Regardless of whether or not you "like" soccer, soccer IS a kid friendly sport. I wish that Catoosa County officials would recognize the fact that there is a need and desire for soccer rec leagues here in Catoosa, instead of just ceding the soccer interest to Camp Jordan and allowing them to get all the money.

In short, Catoosa needs to use some of that money and start building some soccer fields for the children of this county to enjoy, instead of just building more and more "ball fields". There are other sports that kids like to play.
