Field Closure

Poor weather conditions or unsafe field conditions are the primary reasons for sports field closures. Experience has shown that most turf damage occurs with field overuse or use during inclement weather. If your home field is damaged as a result of play during inclement weather ALITHSA may not be able to provide an alternative facility. Thus it is in everyone's interest to ensure that fields are not used when play damages the playing surface. In order to meet the demand for high quality fields, and ensure a safe playing field, both weather and field conditions are monitored on a weekly basis to ensure that scheduled games and practices do not:

• Cause abnormal damage to the field surface
• Jeopardize further scheduled use of fields
• Compromise personal safety of league players or general public

When a field is closed, it is the responsibility of the Head Coaches to ensure that fields are not played upon if he/she is field side. It takes the efforts of every player, parent and coach to help prevent damage and maintain satisfactory field conditions.

 Field Closure Procedure

Fields are inspected weekly, and more frequently as needed, by the Field Director for the following:

• Standing water on field
• Turf damage
• Equipment damage
• Frozen Field
• Ongoing Field Repair
• Periods of forecasted severe weather warnings

If any of these conditions occur, fields may be temporarily or permanently closed. The club website will be updated with the status.

Weekend Field Usage - Coaches Responsibilities

Although fields may be open for game play as of Friday evening, weather and field conditions may deteriorate by game time, including Saturday and Sunday. In these situations, it is the responsibility of field users to determine whether or not to start/ resume play if not done by the Field Director. Coaches are asked to avoid high use areas near the goals when using fields for warm up practices, and to not conduct weekly team practice on any game fields.
