Surely the needs (and rights) of the many outweigh the needs of the few! Please reinstate AYSO's ability to use the Paul Revere field for the children of our community.

This is so important to the community and the development of children across the Palisades!

Surely there is a reasonable way to share these fields so that AYSO is not excluded from the Sunset field.

Please consider allowing the Region 69 Ayso teams to use the Sunset Field along with other soccer clubs for practices during the evenings on weekdays and on Saturdays!!

There is so little park space in the city of LA. As a public school, I am hopeful you will reconsider and allow AYSO, a not-for-profit organization that serves so many children of the community, to have the access needed to your wonderful field and facilities. Thank you.

As a supporter of Paul Revere and AYSO, I hope that some compromise can be reached so that the Sunset field can be used by AYSO. I would venture that most, if not all of the kids who have been on the pitch for Paul Revere started on that same pitch with AYSO. It’s important for the older kids and their volunteer coaches to have access to properly sized, local fields for them to continue their development.

Please share the Revere field with AYSO. AYSO is so important to the community and welcomes all atheletes. AYSO's use of the field will help so many more kids than a small, private soccer club.

This will be a major set back to our kids opportunity to develop physically.

AYSO is an institution in this community and has benefited so many children over the years. Please allow AYSO to continue to use this field. It's the right thing to do.

Please allow AYSO to continue to use the Paul Revere Field. My children have received tremendous benefit from participating in AYSO as has the community. Closing the field would greatly limit the number of children being able to participate. Please allow AYSO to share the use of the field. Thank you, Michelle Ashley

I have coached and refereed on this field for over 40 years. It is outrageous that LAUSD id giving preference to a commercial entity with a few kids vs AYSO, a nonprofit, that served the entire community so well? Not to mention the $10s of thousands spent by the soccer families to maintain these fields.

Paul Revers is a PUBLIC SCHOOL, not a private one, owned by the taxpayers, and should be for the benefit of the public, not for the exclusive use of a small soccer club for the wealthy that is a business venture for the owner. My daughter played at Paul Revere with AYSO, which is a non profit open to every child. It is absolutely outrageous to displace hundreds if not thousands of community children for the benefit of an exclusive few.

Dear sir, I am 46 years old and grew up blocks away from Paul Revere. My family attended school there. I started playing AYSO in 1978 at Revere when I was 8 years old and now my 6 year old daughter will be starting in the Fall. It means a lot to me to have her learn the game and enjoy the field in the heart of the community where I grew up and where she's growing up. I also played for the Palisades club team in the 80's that made Revere its home. We had no problem sharing the field then with AYSO. i challenge you to find a way not to ruin this beautiful, continuous community gathering spot for nearly half a century now. Find a way or know we will make our voices heard (mayor garrett grew up with all of us on that field FYI) and this will become a way bigger headache than you'll have bargained for. That's not a threat, just a promise to use all our considerable powers to make sure this wrong decision does not stand.

Please reconsider this loss of field use. The kids in our community really rely on being able to use the PR field. Thank you for your consideration.

We all understand money is tight. Please make clear to the AYSO community what your financial needs are to allow AYSO to continue to use the fields.
