PRACTICES/PRACTICE SCHEDULING
We will be using the same rules and protocol for practices as we have in the past (DO NOT ABUSE PRIVILEGES). Questions or problems with the scheduler should be referred to Scott Lebow (slebow@comcast.net)
1. A practice has to be booked through the online scheduler (link to the left)
2. Each rec team is permitted (1) one-hour practice per week (week is Sunday - Saturday)
3. A rec team can have a two hour practice if they partner up with another rec team or plan a scrimmage with another rec team prior to the start of the season
4. Each AAU/Travel team is permitted (1) two-hour practice per week (week is Sunday-Saturday)
5. Each AAU team is permitted a 2nd two-hour slot for a scrimmage only
6. No practice time or scrimmage time can be booked more than 5 days in advance
7. All practices must be held at the appropriate field(s) that the division is allowed to practice on (more on this below)
8 Never practice on a field at Thompson Park or JMP that later in the day has a game scheduled on it
9. We will institute the "24 Hour Rule". This rule allows you to schedule a practice on an un booked field 24 hours prior to the time you want to practice. We do this because we would rather have fields being used by a team having more than one practice a week, than be empty.
FIELD USAGE
- only use the fields when we are permitted to use them (this posted on the scheduler page for each field)
- certain divisions can only use certain fields for practices (unless using 24 hour rule)
- Tee Ball can practice at Daniel Ryan Field (any day) and Thompson Park #1 (Sundays only)
- Rookie can practice at Daniel Ryan Field, Thompson Park #1 and #3 and Woodland School
- AAA can only practice on Thompson Park #1 and #3, Woodland School and JMP UF/LF
- Minors can only practice on Thompson Park #1 and #3, Woodland School and JMP UF/LF
- 8U, 9U, 10U AAU/Travel can only practice on Thompson Park #1 and #3, Woodland School and JMP UF/LF
- Majors 11 can only practice on Woodland School and JMP UF/LF
- 11U AAU/Travel can only practice on Woodland School and JMP UF/LF
- Majors 12 can only practice on JMP UF/LF
- 12U AAU/Travel can only practice on JMP UF/LF
- Pony, 13U AAU/Travel and 14/15U AAU/Travel can only practice on TP#2 and TP#4
** Everyone must have the permits for Thompson Park - the Park Rangers will be out in full force!! Everyone will be given the permits for all 4 Thompson Park fields when they pick up their equipment. **
** For convenience sake, we will allow managers that coach two or more rec or AAU teams to have their teams practice back to back at any field. **
This is when we have the fields –
- Daniel Ryan = #1, #3 and #4 = Monday-Friday 4pm - dusk; Saturday and Sunday 10am - 4pm
- JMP Upper and Lower Fields = 24/7 (until 10pm)
- Woodland School* = Monday-Friday 5pm - dusk; Saturday and Sunday 9am – dusk
*Woodland will be unavailable from time to time due to school functions*
- Thompson Park #1 = Monday - Thursday 5pm - dusk; Saturday 1pm - dusk; Sunday 1pm - dusk
- Thompson Park #2 = Saturday 9am - dusk; Sunday 1pm - dusk
- Thompson Park #3 = Monday, Tuesday, Friday 5:30pm - dusk; Saturday 2pm - dusk; Sunday 9am - dusk
- Thompson Park #4 (Legion Field) = Saturday 9am - dusk, Sunday 1pm - dusk
* All school fields within the township - Applegarth, HS fields, Oak Tree (although probably not ready for this spring) - are first come, first served but fall under the restrictions and guidelines of the Board of Ed. They are not to be used until after the school team season ends. *
*Monroe HS JV and Freshman Baseball teams will use TP#4 and TP#2 for games so they may not always be available at the times we have listed. We will block off times on scheduler once we get their schedule*
