Teamwork is essential for a great game day, starting with field preparation. Teams scheduled for the first and last games are responsible for setup and takedown. Please follow the procedures for your specific location below.

To make things easier, a Board Member will have the lockup open and the necessary goals, paint, and flags staged for you.

Friday Night Setup

• Position Goals: Carry the staged goals from behind the "Lockup" container (near the Arnold gate) and place them on the fields.
• Set Corner Flags: Place all 6 corner flags in their designated positions.
• Secure Goals: For safety, place two sandbags on the back frame of each goal.

End-of-Day Takedown

What's Required for My Team? 🙋‍♀️🙋‍♂️

• Send 2 Volunteers to Training: Each team must send two representatives to one of the mandatory training sessions to get certified.
• Sign Up for One Shift: Once trained, your volunteers will sign up for one ~2 hour shift during your division's assigned weekend.

What Does a Field Marshal Do? 🦸

• Walk the fields during games and pick up trash as needed.
• Look out for any potential issues including:
  • Parents or volunteers getting out of hand.
  • Parents, players, or guests breaking field rules.
