These are cooperative ventures between and among interested athletic organizations, Fairfax County Neighborhood and Community Services (NCS), and Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS). The programs allow athletic organizations to provide maintenance and improve facilities such that athletic conditions are up to the competitive standards of the organization(s) adopting it. The programs assurance that during the useful life of their investment, “friends” will be allowed continued use of the facility. Friends do not have exclusive use. This partnership helps protect the School Board’s investment and improve facilities for all county residents.
