Fields & Safety Notes from Field and Safety Director

• Carry your Field Permit with you to practices (along with your Player Emergency Forms) and produce it if questioned by City employees, other coaches, etc.
• For field closures due to weather, check the website. Any teams caught playing on fields that have been closed by the City will be disqualified from further league play.
• Please have your team parents take home your game trash (from snacks, fruit, water bottles, etc.). On weekends AYSO typically overtaxes the city’s trash receptacles. Extra trash bags are located in the AYSO equipment boxes/closets located at each field.
• Your game fields should be lined, with flags and goals in place and equipment boxes unlocked (by our Field Crews) by the time you arrive for your game. If not, call the Fields Coordinator.
• Please note that goals must be staked or weighted for games.
• The steel goal cages are generally locked (except for BHS and Lower Bayside) and not available for practices. They are not staked down for practices and can blow over or be tipped over, resulting in injury or even death! If you find the goals on your practice field, please wheel them off the field and discourage children from playing around them.
• Any problems with field conditions, equipment, lighting, sprinklers, etc., talk to the Fields Coordinator.
• If you encounter interference from other sports (e.g., football, baseball), do not engage or confront the other coach. Call the Fields Coordinator; a Board member or City Parks and Rec will intercede on your behalf.
• For any injuries, reporting and doctor release forms are available on www.burlingameayso.org. Please fill out and return to the Regional Safety Director. Note: supplemental accident insurance claim forms are available from the Regional Safety Director or on www.soccer.org and must be filed with AYSO National within 90 days of the incident.
• Equipment boxes/closets at all fields generally include extra First Aid kits, ice packs, goalkeeper shirt, doggie bags, game cards, trash bags and referee flags. If any of these are missing or exhausted, call the Fields Coordinator.
