Success! I went and talked to the principal of my my kids school. It is a small Catholic School but a decent single court gym. We can fly there for $25 per sesion. If we can pull together 5-10 guys that want to fly on a given evening or Saturday we can use the gym if there are no games going on. They don't ask for insurance or anything but I think we will require AMA just for good measure.

The public schools were receptive but had insurance requirements that would have required getting the gym sanctioned as a club field through the AMA to offer site owners insurance. There standard fee was $100 for 3 hours. The other place came through before I got to the negotiation phase with them. I think we could have gotten a break on the fee by explaining we were not using the gym for profit and also by offer to do some school demonstrations and learing activities with the kids.

Anyone else had some luck?
