FIELD MOWING

Each team in the Major, Minor and Farm divisions is responsible for mowing the grass on the field and trimming the fence lines. The responsibility is divided equally between all the teams.  The Farm and T-Ball teams share the responsibility for the Farm and T-Ball Fields.

Mowing Schedule

Team assignments are listed on the game/practice schedules.

 

Instructions

The riding mower should be used on a setting of 2.0 in the outfield and spectator areas.  It should be used on a setting of 1.5 for the infield, warning track and foul lines.  Do NOT use the tiff mower that is stored shed.  There is a weed whacker in the shed that should be used along the fence lines.  If the fence lines are kept up there may be no need to cut them every week. 

The best day to mow is Sundays to avoid interference with practices, games and school activities.  DO NOT MOW during school hours.  If you can’t mow for any reason, it is your responsibility to get someone else to do it for that week. Please remember, everyone in your division is counting on you to take care of the grass…. it’s important to get it done. Thanks for your help.

The following picture illustrates the different areas that must be cut.  The schedule below references the areas illustrated in this diagram.
