*Spring 2013 Soccer Notes

The following fields will be rested:  Tallgrass Park. Resting fields means no games/practices are allowed. 

No practices allowed on Apple Orchard #8 or #9.

Please do not plan weekday practices on AO #1, AO #2, AO West, Sunset & Hilltop as those fields have been permitted to other spring sports.

*IMPORTANT NOTE*
Official field closure by the Park District means no-one can practice. Please do not go out and find a "dry" spot even if it's not on a field. Sometimes we may close certain fields and at that time you are welcome to find the best place to practice but ALL fields closed means ALL practices should be cancelled.

Guidelines for Field Closure:

• A footstep leaves an impression in the turf or if the grass is removed easily with a cleat, this is considered a wet field.
• Standing puddles of water on the field
• Footing is unsure and slippery
• Ground is water logged and squishy
• Grass can be dislodged from the ground easily
• Unsafe facility conditions-glass, exposed stones and rocks, etc.
• The use proves to be destructive or detrimental to quality of turf.
• Frozen field
• Lightning
• Periods of forecasted severe weather warning
