Schedule change.......To give the Minor Softball game a little extra time, the May 17 AA Dodgers at Diamondbacks has been pushed back from 4:30 pm to 5 pm.

Let's be good neighbors.......to our friends at Rolling Greens Nursery just down the hill from our fields.  They have reported that unsupervised children have been throwing rocks at the greenhouses, cars parked at the Nursery, and even at customers.  Luckily nobody has been injured, but the nursery has sustained costly damage to some of its buildings.  So, please do not let children wander unsupervised on the hills behind the park.  And if you see anyone engaged in such behaviour, please tell them to stop or alert a coach or board member to the problem.

Fields of green.........are what CCNLL and the Culver City Parks Department are shooting for as the weather warms up.  The city has worked out a schedule for watering the playing fields that should keep them in fine shape throughout the rest of the season.  If you're agronomically-minded you can find that schedule here.  The league and the parks department are asking everyone PLEASE do not tamper with the sprinkler heads.  We have had some trouble with unauthorized "adjustments."  If you see that the fields are drying out - or are suffering from over-watering - please notify the field manager, Mario (field@ccnll.org) or George Aceves (310-628-8737) and they will handle it.  Thanks.
