An Important Message from Greg Lewis, Director of the Columbus Recreation Department August 15, 2019 There have been questions asked concerning the costs of registration of competitive football players in Propst Park. Much of the information being posted on social media is incorrect and not based on facts. Here is the correct information. Players are asked to pay a $100 registration fee for playing in the competitive football program at Propst Park. This money is used to help pay for uniforms and other items including athletic equipment. This fee does not cover all the costs of the league since the City of Columbus pays the remaining costs. Each year it costs more and more to provide quality recreation facilities for those that participate in the many programs we offer. This is a quality investment that is used by thousands of people each year in seven different sports. The only fair way to offset these costs of recreation is through this small fee from those that participate. The leaders of the City of Columbus work diligently to keep costs down while providing great recreation facilities for all ages. The City of Columbus budgets $930,000 a year for recreation expenses. Registration fees are used to directly offset the costs of the recreation department. However, individual registration fees are always the responsibility of those that participate in the programs. Registration fees have been charged to participants for over 20 years. This is a fair and affordable way to keep program costs down. There are registration fees for all youth sports. Generous businesses and citizens of Columbus have frequently paid the registration fees for some youth that otherwise would not participate. Coaches and parents are important to the success of the Columbus Recreation Department. Coaches and parents help identify businesses that step forward and sponsor teams in all sports. The Mayor and City Council set the annual budget, but not the registration fees. Competitive teams set their own fees. Perhaps parents and concerned citizens of Columbus could form an organization to help pay the registration fees for youth that are unable to pay these costs on their own. Let’s stop playing the blame game. We must continue to find ways to help the youth that participate in sports in Columbus. Signed, Greg Lewis, Director of Columbus Recreation Department
