Field Usage

Athletic Field Use Guidelines

We are all committed to provide high quality, safe playing surfaces for our multi-use athletic facilities, but we need the help and consideration of all user groups in protecting the turf from excessive damage due to game and practice activities. The turf grass is the safety surface for the athletic fields. If any of the following conditions occur scheduled games and practices should be canceled or postponed.

  1. Standing water on the field of play.
  2. Soil Saturation. - Walking on turf causes water to surface - Walking on turf on heels causes indentations - One inch or more of rain 48 hours prior to scheduled game or practice accompanied by steady rain on game or practice day Steady downpour of rain on game or practice day which could cause damage to turf or injury to participants - Extreme drought conditions where 50% of the playing surface has turned dormant.
  3. Lightning detection warning horns have sounded (30 minute waiting period).
  4. Visibility (darkness, fog, etc.)


All coaches, referees, and umpires are responsible for ensuring the safety of field playing conditions at all times during scheduled play. Safety implies protection of the resource, as well as the participants. In addition to the above requirements, cancellations or suspensions of game play and practices should be enforced when:
- Player’s footing becomes unstable, slipping 6" or greater
- Holes 4" in diameter of 2" in depth or larger in field of play
- Surface rocks 3' or greater exposed on playing field
- Standing water in an area 3" or greater
- Soccer/football standards not securely anchored
