Youth sports depend on city and school fields for practices and games. If just a few teams or parents fail to follow the usage rules for a field, we may lose rights to use a field. Please make sure EVERY family understands the rules for the fields your team is using. If problems occur, individual teams may lose access to fields for practices or games so a Region does not lose the field for all teams.
Each field we are using has specific and detailed rules. In addition, each field can be closed due to weather conditions. Current field conditions are posted on our fields status page.
Here are the general guidelines that cover all fields:
THIS FIELD IS FOR PRACTICE ONLY:
No games are to be scheduled at the park.
The park is closed at sunset.
KID ZONE:
No Smoking. No Alcohol. No Swearing.
FIELD CONDITIONS:
If it is or has recently been raining, field is wet or soggy we cannot use the field.
If the general field condition is OK, avoid soft, wet or worn spots in the grass.
Report any safety issues (gopher holes, bees, etc) to the Safety Commissioner ASAP
TRASH:
Any items you bring to a practice or game, you must take home with you.
Always leave the field as clean, if not cleaner, than you found it.
PARKING / DRIVING:
Use only legal street parking.
While driving around schools or parks, be cautious and obey all laws.
PETS ARE NOT PERMITTED:
Absolutely NO DOGS allowed at practices. Dogs may be walked at the park. but should not be within ten yards of the practice area. Do not bother neighbors who are waling their dogs, except to politely ask them to avoid the practice area.
There are kids (and Parents) that are very afraid of and/or allergic to dogs.
END OF THE PRACTICE / GAME CHECK:
No trash or equipment left behind.
