Please pay close attention to field set up and break down. Each team has a responsibility each week to do their part. Let’s make sure we are all doing ours to keep our fields clean and ready for play." This past weekend we were a little dusty but I am certain we will all be back in top shape this weekend-getting it down."
" Here is how it goes:! "
If you are an AWAY TEAM. Away teams are the second team to appear on the schedule. For instance, Buckroe vs Menchville. Menchville would be the away team."
"
AWAY team are ALWAYS RESPONSIBLE for FIELD SET UP.! What does field set up mean?! Field set up means that you and your team are responsible for making sure that each WHITE trash barrel has a trash bag placed in it. All pads for the field posts are placed on the posts. All flags are on the field. All rope for sidelines is up and in right spot."
"
You are responsible for these duties if you are the FIRST game of the day/night on the field."
"
HOME teams are ALWAYS RESPONSIBLE for FIELD BREAKDOWN.! What does field break down mean?! Field breakdown means that you and your team are responsible for making sure the field is CLEAN and free of any debris. SO, you must pick up any debris that did not make it into the trash cans. Empty ALL trash cans in the dumpsters. Remove all pads, flags and rope (that is not permanent). Any items that are left behind-such as clothing, boots, jackets, baby strollers…please place those in the shed. DO NOT THROW away or KEEP lost items. "
