SIGNIFICANT BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS:
-
Decrease in personnel is due to
reallocation of personnel costs to the Individual Sports Program to reflect a
more accurate distribution of the supervisory and administrative funding.
-
Revenue
increases due to fees collected for use of the Gunston Bubble by both adult and
youth organizations for clinics and games, and proposed fee increases.
-
Staff assisted the Arlington Girls Softball Association
with the implementation of the initial First Responders Invitational Softball
Tournament in September 2002. Teams from Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, New York
and Pennsylvania participated in the tournament.
-
Codes of conduct for youth players and their coaches
were revised and a code of conduct for parents/guardians was implemented in
FY 2003.
-
Outdoor and indoor adult soccer (spring and fall
seasons) and basketball programs (winter season) continued to be capped due to
limited supply of athletic facilities and the continued growth in youth sports.
PERFORMANCE MEASURES:
Objective: To provide high quality sports management
for youth and adult teams through effective support and coordination with
participants, parents, coaches, sponsors and county-affiliated sports
organizations.
