The balance of our player’s fees helps pay for ongoing field maintenance, officials’ fees, insurance, utilities, field equipment and advertising. Our fee only covers the basic operating expenses to put on the fall season. The SCFL relies 100% on Sponsorships and Fund Raising efforts to provide funding for capital improvements and major repairs to our facilities. These efforts are critical to improving the quality of the SCFL playing fields and facilities. Our new Gullo Park Facility has all been built through donated funds and supplies and/or services sold to us at a significant discount from generous area businesses and the Montgomery County Commissioners Office. Please see the Sponsorship page for more information. Back to Registration Questions / Back to Top
