FIELD OF THE YEAR SCHOOLS AND PARKS SOFTBALL
WE RECEIVED REGULAR FEEDBACK from our school, visiting coaches and people from out of state who come to play on our field that this is one of the best softball fields in the state or one of the best they have ever played on. I think that is a testament of the hard work that I have put into maintaining the field. I know I have not reached my potential yet, and feel I will only continue to get better and put out better results every year. Having no staff becomes very challenging— bouncing from school to school to keep all the fields up to par. This becomes more difficult in the spring when our high school and junior high baseball, softball and soccer seasons start. Spring is a very wet season in northern Utah, so to get our fields ready to play three to five home games on the same day when it has just rained or snowed becomes a great challenge. Having a limited budget that is constantly changing makes it difficult as well.
