Opening day/ access to fields are determined by each the parks and recreation department and our school district.

The decision to play is based on overall field safety conditions and weather.

Our families must realize that using a closed field is a violation of our permit agreement and that unauthorized use may result in our field permits being suspended or revoked.

Please note, MLL does not own any fields and that we share their use with other locally permitted leagues . Permits for MLL have been secured and we are grateful for their use.

If a field is closed, then it remains closed for both games and practice use until we receive notification that they have been reopened. This means that in inclement or potentially stormy  weather, MLL does not determine whether to call for “rain out” or allow games to be played.

It is always our intention to play all scheduled games, however this decision is often out of our control. 

Field Rules - Safety - Protocol:

Field Use: Please keep in mind that the city and school district have different protocols and determining factors when deciding to allow our use of the fields.

1. No member shall use/access any fields outside of times/dates for which the MLL has been granted permits. Teams are NEVER permitted to use the fields when they are deemed CLOSED

2. MLL is not the only program utilizing the fields, various recreational leagues have also obtained permits and use the same fields.  Our MLL permit is expected to allow for our access effective sometime during the month of April. Other leagues who have obtained permits may already be using the fields.

3. In the event of standing water on the field, we are not permitted to apply any quick drying agent or to push/broom the water off the infields.
