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
