PLEASE BE MINDFUL AND KIND TO OUR PARKS. IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO TRAIN IN GOAL MOUTHS OR HEAVY TRAFFIC AREAS - ESPECIALLY WHEN IT IS OR HAS BEEN WET.

If you need information about a particular field, do not contact Madison Parks directly.

RAIN OUT LINE: The Madison Parks DPT hotline is no longer active.
IF parks are closed due to weather, Parks will email Regent.
Regent will update PlayMetrics and teams will be notified of any field closures as soon as possible.

IMPORTANT - COACHES/MANAGERS MUST RESCHEDULE ALL MAKE-UP PRACTICES & GAMES THROUGH REGENT

It is important for us to know who is on which field.
We need to keep our reservations through Madison parks up-to-date.
We also need to update our posted practice and game schedules so that teams can see when fields are available if they are trying to reschedule a practice or a game.

Practice Info
Regent is limited on field space in general, but especially during the Fall season when we have less daylight.

During the Fall season, most teams will be asked to share field space.
During the Spring season, when daylight is less of an issue, practices can be "stacked" (one before another), which means most teams won't have to share space.

Weekly practices vary depending on age group and program - go to our programs page for more age specific information regarding practices.

Regent will work with coaches as much as possible when setting up the practice schedule each season.
Field Reminders
1. Always leave the field the way you found it!

Pick up trash
Collect all equipment
If you move the goals, make sure to move them back!

*NOTE - we prefer that you NOT move the goals. If you must move them, you must make sure to put them back when you are finished. NO EXCEPTIONS!

2. Avoid areas that are showing excessive wear - this is common around the goal mouth

3. Games have priority.
If another team is making up a game, and you are there to practice, you should cede the field to the team that has a game. You can usually find space in the surrounding area to hold your practice.
FYI - We make every effort to not place games where they will disrupt practices and if we do, we try to warn you of the conflict ahead of time!

4. If two teams are at the same field for practice, work together to share the space equitably!
Practices & Weather
In the event of inclement weather and where the Madison Parks have NOT been closed, coaches may decide to cancel practice.

Remember - if you hear thunder or see lightning, get off the field and seek shelter. Safety comes first!
If you arrive to a field to play a game and discover that the field conditions have become unplayable, please do not make them worse.
If a field is determined to be too wet or unplayable, Madison Parks will inform Regent by 2pm on weekdays & 9am on weekends. Regent will update PlayMetrics as soon as possible.
For games with referees - it is the referee's call as to whether to cancel the game.
For games without referees, the coaches for the two teams should discuss and make a determination.
