There will be absolutely no smoking or drinking on the field/ in the dugouts or immediate field area.This includes friends/family coming to watch the games.Violation of this rule will result in immediate ejection and followup suspension.There will be zero tolerance.Why? The Parks Department is sending employees to the fields to check for violations and TAKE PICTURES.The league has already received a permit violation.We do not want another.Also dugout/field must be free of garbage.If there are no garbage cans at the field you must take it with you.I will be requesting garbage receptacles be placed at the fields from the parks department.We all need to work within the Parks rules to continue to play ball.Thanks in advance for your cooperation.
ALL TEAMS SHOULD BRING BROOMS AND RAKES TO THE FIELD
We all need to work together to get the fields in playing condition.
