Rules for ALL fields
Coaches are asked to ensure that all trash including empty water bottles are removed from the field area after each practice and game. This includes any trash left from visiting teams. (If using Hopkinton State Park Field, the trash can be dumped in the dumpster)
Coaches should remind parents and opposition coaches that NO DOGS are permitted at practices and games at or on any of the fields. Some fields are leased and AYS has been warned about no dogs. Having dogs present from Ashland or visition families could affect future lease and availability of these fields. Town own fields do not allow dogs.
Any issues regarding the field conditions i.e. playing surface, lines or other concerns should be raised with the Field Director immediately.
Only scheduled practices and games should be using the fields at the allotted times.
Coaches should use common sense when deciding to practice on any of the fields during or following wet weather. Their first priority should be to safeguard the playing conditions of the field for the season.
Coaches are required to put corner flags back in the field bins after the game and lock the bin.
