See below for a slight change in Field Lining procedure (from our Fields Coordinator) for this Spring. I've also updated the U8 Coaches Guide.
The Bottom Line: Home Field coaches of the early games are responsible for the coordination and delegation of lining their game day field. They are encouraged to get help, if necessary, from the Visiting Coaches and/or Parents from their respective teams.

Pete,Please forward to all coaches.Field Guidlines for CoachesTo help keep the fields in good shape we have instiuted a HOME team policy. The HOME team for each given game is responsible for the field they are playing on at that time. The responsiblites of the HOME team are as follows:If you have a Wensday practice and have a parent that is consintelt there then try and encourage them to line the field during practice. This will make a huge diffrence in the quality of the field lines.
- First game of the day the Home team coach is responsible to line that field. If you can't do it before the game then do it Friday night or arrange for the other coach to line the field. If field liners needed repaired or if more paint is needed please let the field director or I know. dvaughan15@gmail.com 724-207-3911
- Check the nets and goals. Portable goals must have a sand bag on them. Net repair kits will be made aviliable at the fields. If you see a net that needs repaired then please repair that net.
- Home field coach is responsible to ensure that the field area is clean after the game. Please clean up water bottles and other trash and remind the visting team to do the same.
- Last home team coach of the day should put away the corner flags.
- Coaches see the field more then anyone elso so please report issues and problems so we can document them and repair the problem.
These tasks can be done quickly if they are done weekly and by all the coaches. These tasks take along time if they are done once a season by two or three volunteers.
