Region 9 Goals and Fields
Conejo Park and Recreation Department has placed restrictions on AYSO in order for us to be able to use goals for practices. Their concerns are related to safety, vandalism, liability, and field wear and tear. After some negotiation we are now able to place the goals around the fields and allow coaches to use them. If we fail to adhere to their policies, we will lose access to our goals for practices. Please follow the steps below:
Goals
1. The code to unlock the lock on the goals is xxxx.
2. Do not share the code with anyone. If someone is asking for it, they need to contact [email protected].
3. After unlocking a goal, relock the chain and do not leave the combination visible on the lock. We do not want chains or locks to go missing.
4. When you are done with the goals make sure they are placed back EXACTLY where you found them. This is important so we don’t cover any sprinkler heads. It will also make for easy field set up on Sat mornings.
5. If another coach has practice on your field after yours and asks you to leave the goals in place, make sure that they are aware they need to move them back and know the code to lock them back up. If they don’t know the code, just lock the goal back up. (See #2 above)
6. If you see other user groups attempting to take or use one of AYSO goals the answer is no. There are also four sets of large goals with orange nets out there that have a CRPD mark on the side bar that are also locked. (#2 and #5 also apply)
7. If you are the last practice of the night, please look around and if you see any unsecured goals lock them up. If you notice coaches leaving goals unsecured remind them to lock them up. Feel free to report repeat violators to [email protected]
Fields
• Please be sensitive to the wear and tear on the fields. Stay away from worn areas during your training sessions if you can. Use the best grass giving the worn areas a chance to recover.
• A CRPD condition for allowing us to use goals is that we will only place the goals on the goal line for full field scrimmages and games. Please place the goals on the sidelines during practices.
• If your training activity involves shots on goal, again, move the goal away from the Sat goal (penalty) area.
• Every little effort will contribute toward preserving the fields!
• Please make sure that your players pick up their trash. Thank you for your help and cooperation so that all coaches can continue to use the goals for practices and out fields will stay in the best condition possible!!
