The Solution is DryFields
Avoid the $300 Game
"The league board reminds me (regularly) of the game in which I spread $300 of drying chemical on the the infield because of a broken sprinkler head that soaked the infield prior to our playoff game. It took 3 trips to sheds located at other fields to gather tools, 12 parents, 8 coaches, and a lot of back breaking work... There were too many days to count that were impacted by rain last season. Costs and time lost adds up quick when you consider the amount of teams in the league" - Coach of a Arlington Youth Baseball Association
Few youth baseball organizations are well equipped or have the funds to build out infrastructure needed for an intermittent but costly problem.
