Field Set Up Instructions

FIELD SETUP INSTRUCTIONS

Overview: Field setup takes about 10 minutes. Please arrive early to ensure everything is ready on time. Parents typically handle setup and teardown while coaches prepare the kids for kickoff. The next teams will appreciate your help!

BY AGE GROUP

6U–8U Teams (2018-2020 birth years) - Set Up and Tear Down

  • Use portable pop-up goals for your games
  • Each coach brings their league-provided goals
  • Set up goals before your game
  • Take down goals at the end of your game

10U+ Teams (2017 -2006 birth years) -Set Up

  1. Find the aluminum frame goals near the lock box, carry them to the field.

  3. Place each goal on the center of the short end (end line) of the field

10U+ Teams (2017 -2006 birth years) - Teardown

  1. Disassemble the goals (see setup video and reverse the steps)

WHO IS RESPONSIBLE

  • First game of the day: Your team sets up the field
  • Last game of the day: Your team tears down the field
  • Tip: If you don't see another team warming up, go ahead and tear down

IMPORTANT SAFETY RULE NO PLAYERS can set up or take down goals. Keep all players away from the goals during setup and teardown to prevent injury.

Thank you for helping keep our fields organized and ready for play!





 






Field Adopting

Help Us Lock Up Fields After Games (Quick 10-Minute Task!)

At the end of your game, families play a key role in helping us safely close down the fields. If you are part of the last game of the day, please help by properly stacking and placing goals so they can be locked.

Why this matters:
For player safety, insurance requirements, and equipment longevity, Davis AYSO cannot leave goals and equipment unsecured.

What to do after your game:

  • Move goals off the grass
  • Stack or “clamshell” them together
  • Place them so they are easy to wrap with a chain

This simple step makes it quick and easy for our Field Adopters to lock everything up.

Want to help even more?
If you live near a field, you can support as a Field Adopter (just ~10 minutes on game days). Email: [email protected]
