Teams:
We have tarps for 4 of the 9 fields we use. All four fields at Candlelite Knolls have tarps and we typically try to play as many bracket and championship play there on Sunday. We are working with the local recreational organization group in the area about putting tarps on two additional fields. So if it is not down pouring or thundering and lighting,..you'll at least be playing at Candlelite Knolls.
Back in 2008 we had to cancel our May NSA tournament due to our fields not being playable. As a Tournament Director and a Travel Ball Team Manager we felt it was in the best interest as an organization to invest in tarps. Since we have had the tarps rain is no longer our enemy..still not our friend, but we have countless successes in the rain, like the 2008 12U & 16U PONY Nationals, numerous tournaments, and our annual Fall Ball program.
We cannot stop the rain, thunder, and/or lighting, but we can keep our dirt infields dry so when these items stop we can pull the tarps and resume play.
Come play in the Valley Extreme tournament!
Take Care
