Coaches playing or practicing at local high schools.
Please be respectful of the time and effort that the high school coaches and teams have put into getting the fields and sheds into working order for the season. Please take the time to neatly replace items in the shed and restore fields to playable conditions.
Report any problems immediately to the highschool coaches.
South Lakes has requested that coaches, parents, and players DO NOT drive vehicles down the gravel path to the South Lakes High School fields in order to unload equipment. Please unload at street level and hand carry items to fields.
