Field Usage & Permitting

Fielding Monitoring System:

Policies and procedures for opening/closing fields and notifying teams and the public

• Tredyffrin Township fields will be closed on a field by field basis. In the event of precipitation, each field will be visited by the Parks Foreman and field status will be determined and Parks & Recreation Coordinator will be informed of status. Parks & Recreation Coordinator will send out e-mail notification to those on the Fields Closed e-mail list.
• During the school year all notification will be sent between 11:00 AM and 2:00 PM, during the summer months by 3:00pm, 8:00am on the weekends to all those listed on the Fields Closed e-mail list, (please e-mail Colleen Cappello to be added or removed from e-mail list). Field by field status will be sent to the Fields Closed e-mail list (schools, groups & organizations holding a permit). Notification is only sent out if a Field is closed. No notification means the field is open. It is the permit holder’s responsibility to share the information with their coaches, players and families.
• "Fields Closed" signs will be raised if the field has been determined to be non–playable. When a field is determined to be playable, the "Field Closed" sign will be lowered. On the weekends, youth sports group representatives will be granted permission to lower the "Field Closed" signs if the field is playable. The Township requests that each club’s field representative establish if the field is playable.
• Any group/team found playing on a field that has been closed will be given one warning; any further offense will result in the group/teams permit being pulled for that field. Offenses will be listed on the Township website.

Field Usage Tips:

• Use common sense. If a field has standing water, if you hear squishing when walking in the grass or your footprints are left behind in the infields, then the field is too wet to play.
• During practices, move the goal areas to avoid excessive wear in the goal mouth areas.
• Move around your drills as much as possible during practices.
• The last field user for each day is asked to remove all equipment from the field for mowing purposes (goals, nets, tackling sleds, etc.).
• Please remember that you are not the only group/team using the fields. If you play on a wet field causing damage to the field, many groups/teams will be affected.

 Field Maintenance (Grooming) Tips:

• Do not rake/sweep infield mix out of the infield and into the grass - this causes a sharp lip on the infield and creates serious bad hops.
• Do not remove wet infield mix from the infield in an effort to dry infield, loosen, rake and level the wet area.
• Do not use kitty litter, mulch or wood chips to assist with drying.
• At the conclusion of all games/practices infields are to raked.
• All field users are responsible for collecting all litter and garbage from the fields and depositing in trash receptacles.
