Field Maintenance Operations New Ops Director, Meia Patel CSL maintains the fields with City assistance
Sometimes the city schedule and weather do not cooperate
with cutting and lining so supplemental help is required
We encourage Team’s to “own” the maintenance
for their fields
Check at practice for net conditions, line visibility, and grass
height. Assign parent’s to assist in keeping fields in top condition
Fertilizing Mowing GOAL MOUTHS….These will be dirt with no grass by the
end of the season……When depends on how much or little they are used in practice. Practice in GREEN SPACE when fields are closed
