Unity Park is a great park to play at, with dirt infields and new grass we are lucky to have such a great surface to play on.  It is up to all of us as coaches to maintain the dugouts, dirt, grass, and cages.  

Dugouts
After each practice please ensure all trash is emptied from the dugout and put in the trash can.  Please ensure all maintenance equipment is in its proper place,  a clean dugout is a safe dugout.

Field Open
Note the fields have multiple base distances, ensure your age sets up on the proper distance.
                               Red Field 7/8U - 60ft and 9/10U - 65ft
                               Green Field 7/8U - 60ft and 11/12U - 70ft
                               Yellow Field 13U - 80ft and 14U - 90ft
Remove base plugs from the base insert
Clean base insert with metal "digger tool" to ensure the base insert is free of debris and the base slides into the insert easily.  Do not force the base into the insert. clean more if needed
Roll up the tarp that covers the mound and hang it on the fence in dugout. Do not leave it on the grass.
Use L-Screen as needed. 
Use turf mat if pitching from grass.

Field Close
If no team is walking on the field immediately after your practice or game then the following items should be completed.
Remove bases from the base inserts. Place bases in the equipment box in the dugout.
Place base plugs in the base insert.
Place L-Screen in dugout or on the turf/concrete area in front of dugout.  Do not leave it on the grass. 
Place turf mat in the dugout so its hanging up.
Place the tarp so that it covers the mound dirt area, not on the grass.  Field Close Info


Batting Cage Procedures

Unlock the padlock, hang it on the fence/chain, then lock it back.

Keep “hanging nets” inside the cage. If they get hooked to gates, please unhook it—this tears the nets and lets baseballs escape.

When you are done → Lock the cage.

End practice 3–5 minutes early to clean up equipment. Do not use the next team’s time.
