FALL 07 FIELD INFORMATION
For Field Closures
– check MSC hotline (201-612-1281)
– Park & Rec hotline (201-670-5565 option 202)
Occasionally weather conditions deteriorate after the Parks
Department has made the decision to leave the fields open. If a
field closure announcement has not been made coaches should use
their own discretion about fields for any practice. If the coach
feels a field is unsafe, or that practicing on it will cause significant
damage to the field, they should cancel their practice or training
session. If a coach decides to cancel a training session the coach
should not dismiss the trainer without alerting the coaches who
follow them to confirm that they too are canceling for the day.
Field closure procedure and TBS procedures are noted in
NCSA Rules of Competition (ROC). Print out NCSA ROC and review in
advance of a closure, rainout etc. Bring ROC to every game. TBS
games in the initial NCSA schedule must be SCHEDULED within first
two weeks of opening matches…do not delay! Play make
up games early in the season. Read in NCSA ROC process for field
closures – make sure you know how to contact the opposition
if there is a field condemnation etc…If away team has a field
closure or their Club has condemned fields, contact Doug immediately
to see if a Ridgewood field is available. Away games can be played
on home field if needed – read the rules please. If a field
changes, the ref will go to original field – post a parent
to meet the ref and alert of field change. Monitor the NCSA site
for schedule changes. If a field is open but “dangerous”
– the ref calls the game, not a coach. For weekday practices,
if in doubt call the MSC hotline or Parks and Rec but Parks has
till 4 PM to make a determination. Err on the side of caution if
the fields are open but weather has changed. (If session is with
paid trainer – contact him/her, always get their cell number
for last minute communications).
Thanks. Doug
