The LI offseason event (running since 2005) doesn't advertise on CD.

We had earlier 2004 and 2003 offseason events, but with homemade fields and field elements.
SBPLI is a strong veteran volunteer organization.
NYC has had more of a problem getting an offseason together with one at Francis Lewis HS for a few years, but it was hard to get the NYC teams out.
NYC has a broad volunteer group primarily due to supporting companies such as Bloomberg, but many of these are inexperienced volunteers and the area lacks veteran local volunteers for some key positions.
