DCSL Fees Explained
After much negotiation, it appears that the Duke City fees assessed against our advanced teams have been well spent. The team fees collected from all Duke City participants have allowed us to secure the Bernalillo Complex for all U-11 and older games. While the benefits were not clear in the beginning, we can now recognize them:

• travel mileage is cut down from Los Alamos
  
• we are helping fund our state complex
  
• travel between games in families is easier
  
• our kids see lots of high level play at one place
  
• we play on excellent fields with ample parking
