Maintaining our fields is very important to ensure a safe playing surface and enjoyable playing atmosphere for our players. 

Check out the video link on this page for a quick primer on some does and don'ts when you help get the fields ready.

Below is also a partial list of guidelines and reminders when preparing fields for games, or cleaning them up after a game/practice.

• DO NOT run the infield drag over the grass. This moves dirt onto the grass, and creates a lip. Leave at least 1foot of dirt between the drag and all grass areas. DO NOT drag the baselines.
• DO hand rake the dirt away from bordering grass (instead of using the drag). This will keep dirt from piling up and forming a lip.
• DO NOT have kids warm up infront of the dugouts. This creates more wear on the grass that is already getting heavy use. Have your players warm up in the outfield.
• DO NOT hit baseballs into the fencing (i.e., dug out, cage), as over time this leads to the fencing getting bowed, and requires replacement.
• DO wear tennis shoes (no spikes) in the batting cage. This will help preserve the turf floor of the cage and avoid early replacement.
