Field Status Update

If rain affects field conditions, updates will be posted by 8:00 PM on Fridays and by 2:00 PM on other days. 

Field Closure Notification Schedule

• Weekday Games: By 2:00 PM
• Saturday Games: By 8:00 PM on Fridays
• In some cases, the decision may be made at game time.

Important Notes:

• Assume all games are on unless your coach tells you otherwise.
• If the field is closed, teams can still use surrounding areas like the blacktop. Just ensure players have proper footwear.
• In case of a rainout, your coach may reschedule the game. Due to limited field availability and umpires, make-up games are typically held during one of the affected teams' practice slots, with a parent umpire officiating from behind the pitcher.

Game-Time Decisions What is a game-time decision? If the rain has stopped, or rain is expected later, teams may attempt to prep the field for play. This could involve using infield sponges to soak up puddles or sweeping away water. However, the final call is up to the umpire, who will make a "game-time decision" based on player safety. Safety is always our priority, so when in doubt, please err on the side of caution. For specific updates, contact your coach.

Field Guidelines

Each of our fields reacts differently to water. If the SLV School District has posted a sign on the field, it is closed.

• Sign in the infield → The entire field is closed.
• Sign on the grass line → The infield is open, but the outfield is closed.

School personnel maintain the fields Monday through Friday, so the infield may be playable on weekends if no standing water is present. Please use good judgment when deciding whether to use the field on weekends after it rains.

We update this information only when there is a change in the pattern. For example, during extended periods of sunny or rainy weather, we do not update the content daily.
