Field Maintenance Volunteers

The Home Team will be responsible for prepping and maintaining the fields before and after games. It is beneficial to appoint 1-2 parents from the team to lead this position, as well as solicit additional help when needed.  

Duties may include:

  - Manage and perform pre-game and post-game field maintenance duties (home team)
  - Includes chalking, dragging the field before and after game, covering the mound and home plate
  - Attend mandatory pre-season field maintenance training
  - Relay and act as trainer to parents that sign up to help out
  - Assist at field prep days

Field Prep Resources

Your Team Manager and Team Coaches will assist you in finding the tools and resources available at each field. Home teams should plan to arrive to the field with plenty of time to prep the field for safe play.
