Parents/Players: Please call your coach for the most up to date information about your game. 

   If there is standing water on the field or the field is clearly saturated, please do not use it.

   Do not attempt to remove puddles on ball diamonds by lifting water and putting it on to the grass. You will damage the grass since the water also has dirt in it.

The protocol is as follows.

1. Decisions are to be made first by the two coaches who are playing on these fields. The two criteria are player safety and damage to the field. Coaches who play when they should not will find their games swapped to other fields.

2. Coaches can decide to cancel their game in advance without going out to the field. However, they must phone the umpire to relay their decision (umpires names and phone numbers can be found on the umpire page of the SFLL website).

3. If the coaches agree to show up for a game, then it is the umpires' decision whether or not the game will be played. If there is no umpire, the coaches must confer and decide. There have been instances when coaches/parents have put pressure on umpires regarding this decision, and this is just as inappropriate as arguing a call and will result in the same disciplinary consequences. If the field is unsafe, the game should not be played. This may be hard to do with parents and players all waiting to play, but safety is the first concern.

This is a turf field with a dirt mound and batting circle. The protocol is as follows:

1. Decisions are to be made first by the two coaches who are playing on these fields. The two criteria are player safety and damage to the field. If mound and batter's box are too wet to play then you have to call off the game.  If coaches deem those areas safe to play,  then once coaches confirm the turf areas are safe to play, the game can begin.  Coaches who play when they should not will find their games swapped to other fields.

2. Coaches can decide to cancel their game in advance without going out to the field. However, they must phone the umpire to relay their decision (umpires names and phone numbers can be found on the umpire page of the SFLL website).
