A Quality Baseball Field - Let Your Coaching Efforts Stand Out!

VCA baseball field

Just use this site and you're guaranteed a quality baseball field.
Everything is talked about - figuring out what to do, getting funding,
getting it done, case studies from youth to collegiate, essential tips,
etc.

Baseball Field Maintenance Essentials

It's better to carefully select beforehand the specifics and wrap them
around a plan that incorporates the right materials, equipment, and
labor to get it done.

Let's look at some basic `need to know' information first, and then
some choices for whipping your field into shape.

Getting Started - there's a lot to do, how do I begin?
It's better to do a little planning before you start. That way you'll
incorporate the right materials, equipment, and labor to get your
baseball field maintenance job done.

Let's look at some basic `need to know' information first, and then
some choices for whipping your field into shape.

__________________________________________________________________

Baseball Field Turf as healthy and as smooth as a golf course.
Make your bounces dependable. 85% of the game occurs in the infield.
This section covers everything you need for mowing, edging the grass,
aerating, top dressing, seeding, sod, fertilizing, dragging, watering,
sanding, and rolling... including tips and common mistakes.

Baseball Field Dirt Areas - true, consistent, and good footing. This is
where most of the infield action is... on the dirt. But it's care is
often an after thought.

This section covers everything you need for infield mix analysis and
correction, warning track material, dragging, rolling, and watering...
including tips and common mistakes.

Official Baseball Field Diagrams and Dimensions. Use the regulation
field dimensions for youth, high school, and college.

Make sure you do the job right with these diagrams. You can use these
for the base cutouts, base paths when edging, areas around the mound
and home plate, and the infield skin.
A must for proper baseball field maintenance.

Equipment Reviews. Rental machines make the job of baseball field
maintenance a lot easier. But, not all makes and models are easy to
use.

I'm sure you don't want to end up wrestling with equipment or suffer
the disappointment of a job taking longer than it should. Experience
shows that equipment selection can be critical. Read the reviews and
case studies.

Products and Suppliers. Proven products and suppliers that know what a
baseball field needs.
Best sources for grass seed, fertilizer, rental equipment, infield
dirt, sod, and tools fill seed spreader

Pre-Season Audit & Check Up. Conduct this pre-season, mid-season and
pre- tournaments / championships

You should thoroughly audit your baseball field before starting your
season's activities. And frequent in-season inspections are also
helpful. This audit form can be used for a comprehensive audit or for
an in-season of postseason inspection. Then you'll know what your
maintenance or renovation plans are.
__________________________________________________________________

Daily and Annual Baseball Field Maintenance Checklists. Post the
checklists in each dugout for reference by the grounds keeper, coaches
and players.

Checklists can be used as a helpful guide to develop a proper
maintenance routine. These checklists can be modified to meet the
specific needs of each field.

Project Gallery. Projects you can learn from - a visual how to guide.

Maintenance, facelift, and renovation projects for little league, PONY,
high school, college, private school, public school, and park
districts.

Baseball Field Renovation and Reconstruction.
Sometimes you just have to scrape it flat and start over. See how easy
this really is. Actual case studies.

Normal maintenance practices can rejuvenate a tired or worn out field.
But your field might have a hump 60 feet in diameter from 50 years of
washing the mound dirt out on the grass. Or the mound material is
nothing but decomposed granite that disintegrates no matter how hard
you work on it.

Baseball Field Maintenance goofs that turn your stomach
Hey, I planned like crazy. What could go wrong? Plenty! Be forewarned
and your project can still have a happy ending.

Avoid project failure. Lessons learned so these don't happen to you
also: equipment failures, sprinklers that get stuck, deliveries to the
wrong place, someone else gets your delivery, it rains, someone forgets
the hitch, etc.
__________________________________________________________________

Funding - $$$. Make your own field of dreams. Find out how to get
materials and equipment steeply discounted or donated.

Do a $30,000 job for as little as $2,000, if not entirely for free.
I'll show you how to do this. A consultant could build you a new
baseball field or totally scrape your existing field and start over.
You'd be looking at a minimum of $150,000 and more likely closer to
$250,000 by the time you are done. Get something nice that doesn't
break the bank! I include my favorite suppliers and sources of cash
donations.

Find other ZORGIUM pages using your favorite search engine:

Enter your search keyword(s) and the keyword "zorgium" into the search input field of http://bing.com, http://yahoo.com or http://google.com.

Heads up: There's an ongoing spamdexing of Google searchbot algorithms. Sites that are 'copies of copies' and cloaked sites which include Zorgium keywords presented to search engine crawlers yet garbage content presented to human visitors were hosted on thousands of IP addresses and domains registered immediately after the introduction of Zorgium in November of 2009. The Hostgator/'The Planet'/Softlayer datacenters in Texas seem to be the epicenter of this activity in conjunction with anonymously registered domains of various TLD's but primarily .info domains at Godaddy which, in our opinion, has some sort of connection to the domains of goldmint.in and goldmint.org. Google has begun to notice this and has begun to lower the ranking of these sites and put our original sites back on top of the search rankings. These actions, as far as we can tell, negatively impact the use of the keyword 'zorgium' as a search term and provided little benefit, if any, to the perpetrators.

ZORGIUM note to content providers: If you don't want your page to appear in Zorgium's search abstraction then put an exclusion for "Zorgium" in your web server's robots.txt file.
