Rogers Park AYSO Soccer

Field Manager Duties (Five Steps)

Step One: Check fields Sunday morning by 10:00am to see if playable and weather will permit play. Check weather report. This doesn’t include painting fields or equipment check.

Step Two: If play is not possible due to weather or field conditions, call to discuss with appropriate Board members.

Step Three: If game day is cancelled, Field Manager is to call Division Managers and Referee Administrator to start phone tree, website and hotline notification.

NOTE:   The Field Manager calls the games after play has started if lightning is seen. Then all games are called and the fields are packed up. Division Managers and Ref Administrator are notified of cancellation.

Step Four: Get Ready to Play

a.   Be at park by 11:30 am to open cage and disseminate equipment.

b.   Stay around to make sure all goes well. A cell phone is useful.

c.   Have board member numbers, permit and first aid kit.

d.   End of day: account for all equipment and report broken equipment and field issues to Fields and Equipment Director (Jim Russell)

e.   Ensure cage and large goals are locked. (Tip - Lock cage and have equipment returned to area outside cage - then it can be put away in an orderly fashion)

Step Five: Pass key to the next person on the schedule. If you can not make your day, please arrange with someone else to exchange days or find a replacement.
