Fields for practices
Fields for games
Fields 1, 2, 3 are 10U fields. They each get 2 goals, 6 yards x 6 feet. Each end of each piece is color & number-coded. You should have 6 pieces that are labeled with the same division/color. Be sure to stake them into the ground so they don’t fall over.
Field 4 is 12U. It gets 2 goals, 7 yards x 7 feet. Please resist the temptation to whack them with a mallet; this compromises the joint strength and hastens their demise.
Field 5 is for 6U. It gets two sets of 4′ x 6′ Bownets. So, 4 Bownets altogether.
Fields 6, 7 and 8 are 7U and 8U. They each gets two sets of Bownets, 4′ x 6′. So, 4 per field and 12 Bownets altogether.
How to set up Victory park
If your team has the first game of the day on your field
- Choose a parent to help set up at 7am. Sign up here. It takes about an hour for 6 – 8 people to unload the container, sort the equipment, inspect the fields, and set up the tent so that the parents who arrive 30 minutes before their games have enough time to set up their goals. It’s mostly carrying heavy loads, and kids are welcome to help, one goal tube at a time. Steve brings donuts and coffee.
- Everyone else, arrive at least 30 minutes early to set up the goals for your field.
- See this explainer for the goals
- How to Build the 12U Goals
Opening the storage container (in the parking lot, with the Region 13 logo on the door)
- Hang the lock inside on the right side of the shelf so the closers can find it
- Remove the 4 x 12U goal frames and square channels. This is enough to make 2 goals. Carry them across the parking lot while it’s still empty, and set them down on the grass. The 12U goals each have a bag with a net and 4 stakes. These are on the right side, between the two shelves.
- Remove the 10U goal tubes. Organize them to the east of the contanier in the “No Parking” area, in 6 piles, containing one of each type of color-coded tube.
- Put the 10U nets, 4 stakes, and 2 flags with each 10U goal pile.
- Coaches will pick the goals up about 30 minutes before their games.
- Remove the 8 bownets. They’re all the same size. Each 6U and 8U field gets two nets.
- Set up the administration tents, two small folding tables, and a couple of folding chairs on the lawn below field 7.
- Plant field number signs
- Bring the bin of stakes and mallets to the admin tent
- Bring the tote with supplies, game cards, and such to the admin tent
- Bring the bins with spare balls, lost and found, and shoe exchange to the admin tent
