- Special Instructions
-
If you are the last group on the Cherry Beach fields (i.e. late time slot), be wary of the lights going off! The lights are on timers and if they go off (usually at 11pm) the parkspace is very dark. Please end your game on time and get to your vehicles safely!
Fields are to be setup in a north-south fashion, with the middle of the field as the dividing line between two TUC games (usual TUC field setup).
Please note that food of any kind, gum, or sugared drinks are not permitted on turf fields (to protect the field surface). Water only! Therefore no granola bars, sunflower seeds, gel packs, energy drinks, fruit, nuts, etc. on the field! Also, dogs and bikes are not permitted on the turf. Please leave the dogs at home and please lock up your bikes off of the field. If you violate these rules you are seriously jeopardizing TUC permits!!! Teams and/or players found to be jeopardizing TUC permits are subject to sanctions and/or expulsion from the Club. We ask all TUC membes to politely police the field if you see anyone violating these rules during TUC games. Thank you!
Non-metal cleats are permitted on these fields.
