 GENERAL FIELD RULES

 1.      Reserved fields may not be used for games or practices when fields are wet or muddy.  If it has been raining, please get to the field early, use a pump to remove standing water, let air dry – if it does not by game time - cancel game. Do not sweep water into the grass.  DO NOT PLAY ON A MAKESHIFT FIELD AFTER A RAIN. Your reservations are only for the field on your contract. General rule of thumb – “If you can walk on it, you can play on it.” Any major damage that has to be professionally repaired because of play by a reserved team, the team will be billed.

 2.      After each game, the field has to be dragged and raked.  Teams must fill in all “holes” at the bases, pitcher’s mound and batters’ boxes.  Please bring a rake.  A drag is available at all fields.

 3.      Lining the infield for games is the team’s responsibility.  You must bring your own equipment and supplies.

 4.      BATTING BALLS INTO ANY FENCE IS PROHIBITED

 5.      Teams must pick up trash around the player benches and bleacher areas after each game or practice
