Springfields Pitch Use

Due to mud on the courts causing problems for the netballers who use the courts on Sunday mornings, Springfields have put the following arrangements in place.
  • Parking on the hard courts is no longer allowed. If the car park is full then drivers should continue past the hard courts, turn right(where you would normally turn left towards the exit) and park neatly on the driveway that goes to the vocational block. They can then access the pitches without the need to cross the hard courts.

  • If people need to return to the changing rooms after using the pitches they should follow the grass around the back of the tennis court, in order to avoid crossing the courts and depositing mud on them. If people want to remove mud from shoes and boots on site please do so on the grassed areas so that the walkways and courts do not get messed up.
In order to respect Springfields wishes can I ask that you bring these considerations to the attention of the parents in your groups and that all opposing teams visiting the site are also made aware of this.
