The season start date on grass fields for youth is May 1st. The fields will be prepared and maintained in the weeks leading up to May 1st and will not be ready for practice or play prior to this date. From a safety perspective, as well as to ensure fields are not damaged prior to the season, we ask that you remind your teams to stay off of the fields until May 1st. We saw significant damage to fields in 2023 due to user groups utilizing fields before and after the sport field season. This resulted in fields being pulled offline for a significant period of time during the season.
