Coaches - Please note the following:
 

• Seattle Parks and Rec (SPR)  Rainout Hotline: (206) 233-0055

SPR their rainout hotline by 3:30 PM Monday thru Friday.  If conditions change after 3:30 PM or for weekends, field playability will be determined by league officials or the umpire.  Safely first.

• Field Rainout/Closure Reporting: If you find your field is unplayable due to rainout, poor conditions or otherwise closed, please fill out our Field Rainout/Closure Reporting Form.
  
  This helps us document non-use with Seattle Parks for end of season reimbursement.
   
• Umpire Notification of Rainouts (Bronco and Pony): If coaches determine fields are unplayable, please call the umpire coordinator at least two hours before the game.

• Umpires	Cancellations other than rain	Call off umpires at least 24 hours before game start time.   Do so by contacting: Joel Gaither (joel.gaither@weyerhaeuser.com or text/call206-488-2103); or, Todd Kreger with UNW (todd@umpiresnw.com, 206-406-8708)
  Umpires	Rainout	Umps will adhere to Seattle Parks rainout line which posts by 3:30 pm during the week.   Rainout line is non-applicable on weekends and will require field assessment by coaches in advance of the game.   Provide 2 hours  notice (to Joel or to Todd) before game start time.   Sometimes the field is playable even though rained out by parks – in such instances, we can still play but need to alert the umpires that the game is on.
  Opposing Team	Cancelling game	Cancel the game with the other team with as much advance notice as possible.  During inclement weather, communicate regularly.

• Reserving a Field: if you wish to reserve a field, please contact Joel Gaither ( joel.gaither@weyerhaeuser.com) to request field times.  SPR has indicated they only want to deal with one point of contact from any youth league.

• Field allocation beyond your allotted practice times may be at your own expense and you will need to reimburse the league.  During the regular season, practice fields cost $6/hour and an addition $20/hr if lighting is needed.
   
• Lights: Call 855-3300-8400 for ball field lighting issues.

• Delridge Playfield: any time West Seattle Baseball (WSB) has both Delridge diamonds (NE and SW), WSB has the entireDelridge Playfield, including the central and outer areas. This means that any soccer team or other organizations that may be present has no rights to the field and can be asked to vacate. This also means that the center and outer areas can be occupied by other W. Seattle teams in addition to those already assigned to the field which comes in handy when other fields are rained out. There may be times when WSB has reserved only one field such as during a Pony baseball game. If this is the case, Seattle Parks and Recreation (SPR) may reserve other field area for Soccer, etc., but this will always be the opposite field. At no time should a soccer game infringe upon a WSB reserved field.

• Field Permit: from time to time you may find another organization (soccer, lacrosse, little league, etc.) occupying your assigned practice/game field. If so, please handle it professionally and show your field permit to the occupying coach. Ideally, you should have a copy of the field permit with you at all times, or, you may download it here: 2018 Field Permit
