Field Maintenance

LBSC is completely run by volunteers, and regular field maintenance is done by coaches and families of our teams. We've added a few notes as a good reference for field preparation before games, and cleanup after games/practices.

• Sheds should have chalk, chalkers, batter’s box stamps, hammers, mound circle, movable raised mounds, dragger, etc.
• Field Boxes should include bases, mound, tape measure, hammer and post digger

• Clean up dugout after games
• Replace base plugs: consolidate base plugs in one spot when putting bases in
• Return all equipment back into the correct spot
• Only practice/play on reserved fields
• No balls hit into the fences
• Home team chalks the fields: batters' boxes, on deck circles and pitching circle (softball)

Light usage should be controlled by Park District managers. If a bulb goes out or lights are not being turned on before a night game contacts the Park District.

Keypad Locations: Please reference coaches/manager welcome for keypad codes

• Core Quad: Outside, South East corner of the CORE building - Silver Keypad
• Santos Field: Electric box in fence area down 3rd baseline - Silver Keypad

Tracking Light Usage

LOG ON: Each Team is required to Log-On if using lights for their Scheduled Field and Time

• Last games (teams) for the night on Each Field are required to LOG OFF
• Game Schedules and Allocation List will be used to compare against Light Usage Report for billing purposes.

CAUTION:

• Once the lights go out, it takes 30 minutes for the lights to cool down before they can be turned back on.
• Be certain your team is the last game of the night on a field before logging off! This cannot be Overridden!!
• Press * # * to see if keypad is working properly.
• If you hear beeps, keypad is working properly, re-enter your codes.
• LIGHTS ARE PRE-SCHEDULED TO GO OFF AT 10:15PM (No Warning will be Given)
