Game Day Field Preparations
Friday, April 25, 2008

Here are our procedures for using the fields for our Home Games:

Lum Field Preparations:

Corner flags are stored in Shunpike shed (combination 2-0-0-8).  The shed is between Shunpike 3 & 4 baseball fields and on the west sideline of Shunpike Side field.  Corner flags are to be returned to Shunpike shed after the last game is played.

Goals are to be moved into position on game day.  Goals are stored on the designated grass area on the outside edge of the turf.  Goals are to be removed from the turf after the last game is played.  Weighted sandbags are to be used to secure the goals.  Four sandbags are kept at Lum.  Extra sandbags are stored at Shunpike.

 

After each game is finished, the CU Parent Manager and Assistant Parent Manager are responsible for making sure trash and garbage is not left on the field or in the seating areas (players and parents areas).  After the last game of the day, the CU Parent Manager and Assistant Parent Manager should ensure that no trash is left on the turf field, and that the goals have been moved off of the turf field, and into their designated locations (which have been marked with white sprray paint.

 

On Monday mornings ECLC files a report with Chatham Rec on the condition of Lum Field.  If Lum Field is left in an inappropriate manner (ie: trash on turf, goals on turf, or other), Chatham United could loose our playing privileges at Lum Field.

 

Cougar Field Preparations:

Corner flags are stored in Shunpike shed (combination 2-0-0-8).  The shed is between Shunpike 3 & 4 baseball fields and on the west sideline of Shunpike Side field.  Corner flags are to be returned to Shunpike shed after the last game is played.

Goals are to be moved into position on game day.  Goals are stored on the east end zone.  Goals are to be returned to the east end zone after the last game is played.  Weighted sandbags are to be used to secure the goals.  Extra sandbags are stored at Shunpike.

Players benches and scorers table are not to be placed directly on the running track.  If benches and scorers table have to be removed from the turf field, and placed on the running track, a carpet remnant needs to be used to protect the running track from the legs of the benches and table.

 

After each game is finished, the CU Parent Manager and Assistant Parent Manager are responsible for making sure trash and garbage is not left on the field or in the bench area.  After the last game of the day, the CU Parent Manager and Assistant Parent Manager should ensure that no trash is left on the turf field, and that both goals have been moved to the east end zone.

 

On Monday mornings BoE files a report with Chatham Rec on the condition of Cougar Field.  If Cougar Field is left in an inappropriate manner (ie: trash on turf, goals on turf, benches on running track or other), Chatham United could loose our playing privileges at Cougar Field.
