COACH'S GIFTS: Although Dry Creek does not endorse any particular company selling trophies or baseball merchandise we do use The Creator's Touch for our end of the season tournaments. They will be present at photo day and you can view their merchandise. In the past they have been very cooperative and reasonable in price.

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 posted on the main page of this site. If the cancellation is for a weekend game, information will be on the league line by 7:30 a.m. Information about cancellations can also be found by calling the league line after 3 p.m. or 7:30 am at 303-290-9569. There will not be any call backs relating to weather. If you game has not been officially cancelled you must go to your game site. 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.
