Coaches: Clarification on Field Usage
Coaches:  There is some confusion about where you are allowed to practice and where you are not, so please note the following:

* The Rec Center fields are ONLY to be used if you have a time slot allocated to you.  The use of these fields is to be coordinated ONLY through Ted Giovanniello, who then provides practice and scrimmage times in coordination with the Parks and Rec Department;
  
* The fields that can be used for practice are:
 
        - Milford Brook;
        - Clark Mills;
        - Taylor Mills;
        - Lafayette Mills;
        - Apache Road.
        - The lower field at MEMS.
