ANSLL Community,
Reminder the fields we play on are kept somewhat by the county but mainly by the league. Who is the league? You are the league! ANSLL is all volunteers and there is no maintenance crew so pitch in a little at every practice/game and with everyone helping many things will go well. Yes, we appreciate you volunteering as a manager, coach, team parent, other aspects and keeping the fields maintained. We know your time is tight too, we are all volunteers but just a little time at practices/games will go a long way. Thank you!
Please follow these simple tasks to make this league, our fields and our parks as nice as they can be.
- Rake the dugouts to smooth out the flooring – this prevents puddles from forming in the dugouts.
- Infield care – screen dragging prevents puddles and low spots from forming on the fields. However, dragging can also damage the fields, do not drag against the grass, keep 6” away from the grass. Do not pull the screen into the grass, it will create lips. Do not broom puddles/mud without replacing the dirt removed and never broom into the grass. This will create lower spots, lips and lumps.
- Raking the baselines – rake lengthwise from base to base, keeping the dirt off the grass. Do not go side to side it creates lips and forms a low spot in the middle.
- Parent and Players need to clean up – don’t leave trash in the dugouts, near the bleachers or fields. There are trash cans at each field use them, the county empties the cans, but they don't pick up trash from the ground.
- Keep the sheds clean – screens, rakes, power cords and other equipment in the sheds should be placed in there neatly.
- Keep the sheds closed when not in use – there are many things that kids can be hurt with and the containers at Pine Ridge get very hot. Ensure the sheds are locked if you are one of the last ones to leave.
- Keep the cages locked when not in use – equipment is expensive and kids (players and siblings) can get hurt in the cages.
Ø No pets on the fields – don’t believe ANSLL folks are guilty but if you see anyone else ask them politely to get off the playing fields...the evidence is there. This is a County violation.
Ø No driving up to Pine Ridge – removing the post is only for emergencies however, if there is a handicapped situation this is allowed, but please be VERY careful.
Ø Illegal parking – parking is limited at Howery and Pine Ridge be aware the police will ticket illegally parked cars. Use the overflow lots at both parks and obey No Parking signs….Especially Howery!
