FIELD MAINTENANCE
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

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