Colorado SFMA completes field renovation

On June 17, more than 60 members and sponsors of the Colorado Sports Field Management Association (CS-FMA) completed a field renovation event at Varsity Duke While Baseball Field at Brighton High School, Brighton, Colorado. This goal of the event was to give back to a local sports team while also offering demonstrations and hands-on learning opportunities for CSFMA members.

The work included mound reconstruction, laser grading of the infield, repairing and replacing irrigation, widening the baselines and removing turf from behind home plate to the dugouts. Additionally, the field was mowed, aerated and fertilized. CSFMA members also had time to mow and aerate the adjoining softball field.

CSFMA and the Brighton Bulldogs were able to have this event due to the generous donations of time, equipment , tools and supplies from sponsors. Sponsors supplied infield material, clay and dirt for the mound rebuild, as well as mowers, UTVS, fertilizer, sod and tools for the team to keep. Some CSFMA members also brought tools and equipment to share for the day. A new pitching rubber and bases were also donated. The baseball team provided breakfast burritos and lunch as a gesture of thanks. According to CSFMA, it was a great day of working together to teach CS-FMA members and the baseball staff about ballfield maintenance.
