Field Upkeep and Communication: 
• As coaches, tax payers, and community partners, we need to respect the fields and do our part to keep them in good condition.  This means, staying off of the fields when they are too wet and doing the minor upkeep after practices and games. 

• Field dry/Kitty litter, etc. is strictly prohibited without prior permission from a Village of Arlington employee.

• After games and practices, rake around bases and pitchers mound to fill in any holes.  Brushing the entire field is not necessary.

• Clean trash out of both dugouts after games and practices.  Leave the field and dugouts better than you found them!

• No hitting balls into the fence.

 General rule of thumb is that if you, or a player, can leave an indented footprint on the infield dirt then, the infield should be off limits.  If the outfield is squishy at all, then stay off that as well. 

• Village employees will let coaches know when fields are not playable for the day by 3pm by sending our text messages.  Village employees will review the daily field schedule to ensure fields are lined accordingly.  If there are last minute changes please contact Brett Price as soon as you can.
•
We ask that you limit your contact with the Village employees.  However, should you need to contact them, then please do so during their normal working hours ONLY, which will be Monday – Friday 7:00 AM to 3:00 PM.   We feel certain that keeping the field in the best condition possible is as important to you as it is to the Village of Arlington, and are confident that making a decision on if the fields are in a playable condition can be made by each one of you. Contacting a village employee after hours is not necessary to have them check the field, this causes the Village to incur overtime which in turns increases our cost.
