There has been a lot of talk lately about how the league is run, the costs to run the league, etc.
I wanted to compare a few Arizona leagues going into the board meeting so you can be educated, and understand where we are as a league. Some of you want big city league, others like myself have played in many big city leagues across the country and know just how fortunate we are to have such a laid back league.
I hope this helps you better understand where we are as a league.
So here are the comparisons I did:
Cost per game breakdown:
| League | Per Game |
| LHC Mens | $30.70 |
| LHC Coed | $43.90 |
| Chandler Mens | $32.14 |
| Chandler Coed | $44.14 |
| Scottsdale Mens and Coed | $37.50 |
| Victory Park Glendale Mens/ Coed | $41.62 |
| Phoenix Coed and Mens | $32.14 |
| Prescott mens/coed | $36.00 |
| Kingman mens coed | $38.00 |
| Bullhead mens coed | $50.00 |
| Flagstaff mens coed | $46.88 |
