All non-sports complex programmed soccer fields are maintained Football/soccer fields will be laid out, striped, with goals installed first week prior to the beginning of game play, and re-lined at weekly intervals during the season. Lines will be clearly designated to aid officials in the proper handling of the games. “Spectator” lines will be provided as a part of the weekly restriping routine. Fields shall be of the official dimensions (full-size, junior, and midget) unless otherwise specified by the sports and athletics supervisor. Fields will be free of stakes, fixtures, bleachers, benches, “gopher holes”, and other obstructions for at least twenty feet outside of the side and end lines. Goals will be the official specifications and will be maintained in good repair. Programmed field locations are fertilized on a scheduled basis. Resodding of wear areas, over-seeding, broadleaf weed control, top dressing, and renovation performed on an as- needed basis.

Grading of skinned infields a minimum of twice per week, May through August, and as needed in the off-season to loosen infield mix, remove surface irregularities, and develop adequate loose

material to enable effective dragging and base area maintenance. Paint foul lines on programmed fields – bi-monthly minimum.

Fill all holes around base areas and pitcher’s mound daily. All fillin g will be performed by a layering, wetting, and tamping process to develop a firm “patch” in the worn areas. Care should be taken to pull back mix moved by the effects of sliding into second and third base.
