Fields Game Day

 

Both Teams are responsible for dragging and lining the fields and filling holes prior to the game. This takes approximately 30-45 minutes.

Also check that the safety brake-a-way bases are installed on A-Field. The high school DOES NOT use brake-a-way bases.

NOTE: First game of the day on Saturday. Both Teams should have two parents be at the field 1 hour before game starts. Both Teams should help get the field ready for play. There are normally 2-3 games per field on Saturday, so prepping the field is of up most importance on Saturdays. There is generally less than 15 minutes between games. The teams leaving the field should help the teams getting ready to next on Saturdays, with fill holes for the game getting ready to play. There are two fields and the equipment for dragging the fields need to shared.

• After the game, BOTH teams is responsible for filling in any holes caused by "Digging in" at the pitching and batting areas.
• BOTH teams are responsible for putting equipment away at the end of the last game of the day.
• The last game of the day BOTH MANAGER'S are responsible for make sure that all field equipment is put away and boxes locked.
• Both teams are responsible for clearing equipment and trash out of the dugouts in a timely fashion. Important when there is a game following.
• Both teams are responsible for picking up trash around the bleachers. Team parent, please remind you parents.
• GAMES FOLLOWING RAIN: If a game is being played following rain (whether it rained the day of the game or night before the game), both teams must send two (2) representatives to help get the fields ready for play.  Penalty: no infield warm-up.
• Batting regulation softballs into the fence is prohibited. Wiffle balls are okay.
• While games are in progress, batting cage and pitching cage are to be available only to the teams scheduled for that game. Unless permission is granted by the team whose dugout is on that side.  Batting should never be done in the batting cages while games are in progress.  The sound of the bat hitting the ball is a distraction for the players on the field, and is thus a safety issue.
• TEE BALL: For tee ball the bases are set to 50 feet. This is done by removing the magnet bases from their mounts, 2nd and 3rd, and moving them in to the 50 foot position, leave the magnets in the ground at 2nd and 3rd. There is a spare base in the Green Box on B-Field, this is to be used for 1st base, leave the double (white/orange) base in place at first.   The bases are to be returned to the regulation distance after the Tee ball game is completed.

Trash Removal

• ALL TEAMS are responsible for cleaning up the dugouts and bleacher areas after their games. This includes emptying the dugout trash can.
• The team assigned trash duty for the week is responsible for dumping the trash cans into the dumpster. This should be done once during the week and after the last game on Saturday. Dumpster is located behind the old concessions trailer. If it locked all team managers and coaches have a key.
• Trash bags are in the concession stand. Be sure to get them before the concession stand closes.
• Part of our contract with the city is that we empty the trash on the fields. It is WBLL responsibility to make sure that trash is picked up and the cans dumped in the dumpster.

Fields Grass Cutting

• Grass needs to be cut twice a week by us, WBLL. The school usually has games on Tuesday and Thursdays, so the grass should be managed with there play schedule in mind. Usually Monday's and Friday's.
• WBLL is responsible for cutting the grass inside the fence only. This includes trimming the grass along the fence, inside the pitching cage, and batting cage, on B-Field, along the outside fence on A-Field cages.
