FIELD MAINTENANCE: All fields are dragged during the season. Some are done more often than others. Please let us know if you think there is a problem with a particular field, i.e. dragging, marking, grass needs cutting, etc. Port-a-lets or bathrooms are provided for almost every field when legally permitted. Please do not let your children go to the bathroom unless there is a facility available.

GAMES: Once schedules have been published, there will be no changes to the schedule unless weather related. The league office can only do rescheduling of games. If a team cannot field a team for a game, it will be considered a forfeit. Practice and game fields are very tight and there is very little room to change games.

GAME CANCELLATIONS: All game cancellations will be done through Simplified Alerts.  You can have your email and/or cell phone listed.  It is very easy to sign up.  This will be the only way cancellations will be sent to you.  Due to the varying weather from one side of town to the other it may be raining at your house but sunny at the field. Because thunderstorms can happen suddenly there may not be enough time to post a cancellation. Umpires are paid for a game if it is not officially cancelled by 3 p.m.

PARKING: Please be mindful of parking restrictions Residents around fields get very upset if you part on the street when a parking lot is available but might be a longer distance to walk. Fields will be taken away from us if parents are not conscience of homeowners in the area. Please take additional care to park in the school parking lot at Peabody School. The residents in that area are very upset about teams parking on the street and blocking their driveways.

OPENING DAY: Opening Day will also be picture day.  Dinger may make an appearance.  Check back for further information on dates, times and place.
