More than 500 Little Leaguers use the playing fields on John Muir Middle School's campus. About 1,700 Central Valley soccer kids use the fields as well. Volunteers--mostly baseball and soccer parents and coaches--have spent numerous dollars and hours maintaining and upgrading the open space, repairing sprinkler systems, hand-watering the grass and buying lawn mowers to cut it. Now they worry that they may get the boot. Broadway, the district's continuation school for students who drop out of other San Jose Unified high schools, is scheduled to move to John Muir's campus by spring. The move will put 25 portable classrooms at the far end of a field on the John Muir campus with fencing separating the two schools. Soccer and baseball enthusiasts say the portables threaten to overtake their valuable playing fields. And while concrete buildings continue to overrun the valley's open space, it's often the league sports that are bulldozed out of the way.
