General Information
|
|
We now have use of a couple fields and practice areas for practices:
|
|
|
Adams Road Park - Infield & Outfield has a large backstop and infield, and is great for the older divisions.
|
|
|
Adams Road Park - 67 Ave Practice Area is the area at the far end of the soccer field from the infield and backstop, and is suitable for T-Ball or Super-T teams to hold a simple practice, or perhaps a Tadpole team looking for an area to run drills.
|
|
|
Princess Margaret School/Park Diamond has a small backstop but has lots of room (except for the short porch in left field). We have this field Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday only.
|
|
|
Hillcrest Park - 186 St Practice Area is the area beyond the centre field fence at Hillcrest Park, and is suitable for T-Ball or Super-T teams to hold a simple practice, or perhaps a Tadpole team looking for an area to run drills.
|
|
|
We would like to see Tadpole and Mosquito (or even Super-T and Pee Wee) use the Princess Margaret field (as there is lots of room for their batting practice), but we will not restrict it as we want to ensure maximum use of these fields.
Ideally Adams Road should be used for Pee Wee and up, as the infield is set up for 70' or 80' bases.
|
|
|
To manage the allocations for these fields, we are splitting them into 1 1/2 hour increments (5:00pm & 6:30pm on week nights, and at 9:00am, 10:30am, 12:00pm, 1:30pm, 3:00pm, 4:30pm and 6:00pm on Saturdays and Sundays).
|
|
|
Teams SHOULD NOT show up at a practice field that they have not book, hoping to just "fit in" somewhere. All that happens is that it impedes the team who has the spot booked from being able to hold a proper practice.
|
|
|
Each coach may request one practice slot per week, and the slots will be assigned on a strictly first come first serve basis.
DO NOT request slots that you will not use, and if plans change make sure you cancel your slot with enough time that someone else may be assigned it.
At the start of each week, if there are unused slots teams may request an additional time slot for that week.
|
|
|
To request practice spots on these fields, coaches should email Rae Andrews at rae.andrews@gmail.com and include a few choices of times so that if you are beat to your first choice you may get a different slot.
|
|
|
Attached is our Field Allocation Contract which coaches who are going to use the practice fields should print out and have along in case of any dispute with another group trying to use the fields during our allocated times.
If another group is there and interfering with your practice, feel free to point out to them that we have the field under contract and they must move to give you room to practice.
|
|
|
We will post the updated schedule here so that it is always here as a reference.

Adams Road Park - Infield & Outfield
|
|
Map to Adams Road Park (68 Ave & 182 St).
|
|
|
Adams Road Park (Infield & Outfield) has a large backstop and infield, and is great for the older divisions.
|
|
|
We have this field on a full time basis from the end of March through early July.
|
|
|
The idea is that teams would show up a half hour before their allocated time and do their running, stretching and throwing (in the far right field area) before moving onto the infield at their booked time.
|
|
|
NOTE: The team who is assigned the slot must be given enough room for infield and outfield to hold a proper practice including batting practice.
If you are there early to warm up before your allocated time, please make sure your team is off to the side where you will not encroach or interfere.
|
|
|
There is an equipment bin on site which contains bases and a field drag, and there is an L-screen chained to the backstop.
|
|
|
Please drag the infield after your practice to leave the field in good condition for the next team!

Adams Road Park (67 Ave Practice Area) is the area at the far end of the soccer field from the infield and backstop (see picture above), and is suitable for T-Ball or Super-T teams to hold a simple practice, or perhaps a Tadpole team looking for an area to run drills.
|
|
|
We have this field on a full time basis from the end of March through early July.
|
|
|
There is an equipment bin on site which will contain drop down bases as well as a manual pitching machine like those to be used in games.
|

Princess Margaret School/Park Diamond
|

|
|
|
Princess Margaret School/Park Diamond has a small backstop but has lots of room even for batting practice for younger divisions (except for the short porch in left field).
|
|
|
We have this field Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday only, from the end of March through late June.
|
|
|
Please note that there is no equipment bin at this park, so coaches should bring their own set of drop down bases (which you can get from the equipment room if necessary).
|
|
|
|
|
Hillcrest Park - 186 St Practice Area
|
|
Map to Hillcrest Park (65 Ave & 186 St).

The Hillcrest Park Practice Area is the area beyond the centre field fence at Hillcrest Park, and is suitable for T-Ball or Super-T teams to hold a simple practice, or perhaps a Tadpole team looking for an area to run drills.
|
|
|
We have this field on a full time basis from the end of March through early July.
|
|
|
There is an equipment bin on site (behind the backstop at the diamond) which will contain drop down bases as well as a manual pitching machine like those to be used in Super-T and Tadpole games.
