Thanks to everyone who signed the petition to keep field permits for youth sports orgs & voiced their support. With your help & pressure, @NYCMayor & @NYCParks are reversing their policy! Special thanks to @SBronxUnited for their leadership! #WSSL change.org/p/the-city-of-new…

Youth Sports Call Foul on New City Permit Policy ny1.com/nyc/all-boroughs/new… @NYCParks @NYCMayor: opening fields 1st-come/1st serve = severe blow to non-profits/less affluent fams; social distancing unenforceable. Permits later useless as leagues folded by then. #Fields4NYCYouth

@NYCParks: Fields remain open for 1st-come/1st serve, socially-distanced play.Will reassess ability to issue permits later in the fall ->Severe blow to non-profits/less affluent fams.PEP dismantled, social distancing unenforceable.Permits later useless as leagues folded by then

Kids, parents, politicians all rallying in Bay Ridge for youth sports to return this fall. @NYCParks has decided against issuing permits, making the fields first come, first served. That makes it near impossible for organized leagues to hold games @wcbs880
Not to mention that the field house was built with generous support of those non-profits who are now denied field permits. @RiversideParkNY @HelenRosenthal @westsiderag @DanGarodnick #Fields4NYCYouth

THREAD: As of right now, NYC is not granting permits to athletic leagues in parks this fall. Instead of granting permits, the policy will be first-come-first-served.  That’s a mistake, and bad for parents and kids. 1/6

Very sad to see @NYCMayor & @NYCParks take fields away from non-profit youth orgs that cater to underserved families, permitting for-profit companies to take over. Elected officials abandoning their communities @HelenRosenthal @galeabrewer @westsiderag @MarkLevineNYC

In NYC we'll miss another entire season to the detriment of many of our low income families & in favor of for profit companies who have means to squat & occupy fields thanks to @NYCMayor & @NYCParks 1st come/1st serve policy #Fields4NYCYouth @AYSO_Soccer @ussoccer

Has @NYCMayor considered the devastating impact of not giving field permits to non-profit youth sport orgs & the underserved communities they work with? They carefully prepared all summer to reopen in safe manner & comply w guidelines @BrianLehrer #askthemayor #WSSL @SBronxUnited
