Lexington Recreation Department Field Usage Guidelines

The Lexington Recreation Department is making a concerted effort to make Lexington recreation areas look nicer. They have requested we (and baseball, lacrosse, high school, etc. coaches) continue to make sure our players are cleaning up after themselves; check that water bottles, sweatshirts and the like are not left on the fields after practices and games.

Also, please return soccer goals and their sand bags to their designated locations after practices and games! See below for field-by-field guidelines:

Lincoln

11v11 goals should be left in their appropriate field locations at all times (except during 6v6 games, the large goals should be wheeled back a few feet to get them off the sidelines, per previous communications).

6v6 goals should be rolled off the edge of L1 and 8v8 goals should be rolled off the edge of L2 to the area outside of the sidelines. Please do this every practice and game, unless you know another team is following you.

Center

Move all 6v6 goals off the field to the outside of the track. Goals should be arranged goal-mouth to goal-mouth and locked with cable lock provided, one set between track and tennis courts & one set on opposite side next to bleachers.

11v11 goals should be left in their appropriate field locations.

Harrington

Move ALL goals off ALL fields to storage area along wooden fence next to parking area; goals should be arranged goal-mouth to goal-mouth and locked with cable lock provided.

Diamond

There is one set of 11v11 goals that should not be used for practices at all; they should remain where you find them, hopefully not in the middle of the fields.

Franklin

The one set of 6v6 goals should be left separated; the goal closest to the infield should be pushed back a few feet well into foul territory; the other goal should be placed next to either of the two stairway entrances that are used to access Franklin (one is left field, one beyond the field of play in deep center field).

Adams

All goals should be left in their appropriate field locations, not in the middle of any fields.

Muzzey

All goals should be left in their appropriate field locations, not in the middle of any fields.
Please continue to use sand bags on the backs of all goals – it is a primary safety concern!

Corner Flags

Grass corner flags - Pick up and returned by each coach each game- Flag with spikes are kept on the porch of 5 Harrington Rd. This is the house on the Battle Green next to the First Parish Church.

Turf corner flags – Please do not move bottom weights from the field corners at Lincoln. Coaches pick up flags only from new box at Lincoln and return at the end of each game.

Equipment Bags

All U6 coaches will receive equipment bags Sept 26 – The club only provides each new U6 player a #3 ball - Coaches bring a Fat sharpie pen to label balls for your team the first day.

All U7 and U8 coaches will receive equipment bags Sept 12

All coaches to report to directors & us any additional equipment needs. We will respond to within 24 hours to the email and if new gear is needed they will have to give us more time.
