Lights turn on with keyed switch inside storage room on wall facing the street, eye level. The lights automatically turn off at 9:00 PM, so be prepared. Given this, it’s best to end practice at 8:50 so that you have time to gather/put away all gear.

If you wish to use the goals on the Football field, you must request a key from the field coordinator. While in use, the cables must be locked to the back of the goal and when returning, goals must be locked together and moved completely off football field.
