TAKE CARE OF OUR FIELDS!

Although we pay to rent the fields we play on - the school districts expect teams to groom and clean the sites as part of our use agreement.

Obtaining fields to play on is never easy - we need to protect our field use rights by making sure each site we play on is in better condition when we leave than when we arrived.

BOTH teams must participate in the field grooming and site cleaning following EVERY game:
