Tips for setting up the AAA fence
The fence is marked "LEFT" and "RIGHT" and there is a small 1 section piece to reach the foul line on the left field side.
The middle section uses the two posts in center that are offset vertically - NOT the two posts that are adjacent side by side, see photo.
There are two sections on the right field side that do not have sleeves as of 2011/03/15, they may be added later.
The left field foul line is also missing a sleeve as of 2011/03/15, but you can shove one in the ground to keep the post up. We've used a screwdriver and wire to "tie the post down" so it won't be floppy

Accident Reporting Procedures
An incident that causes any player, manager, coach, umpire or other individual to receive medical attention must be reported the the league Safety Officer (safety@quitoll.org). This includes even passive treatment confined to the evaluation of an injury or a suspected head injury. If you have an injury on the field, follow the procedure outlined in this document.

Statistics, line-ups and balanced play
Need help balancing playing time for your players? Check with your peers, most managers with a year or two under their belt have built spreadsheets to ensure playing time is fair. A few managers in AA and above have nifty files that use scorebook information to provide player statistics, depending on how good your scorekeeper tracks them.
Field conditions
The El Quito Park field might be closed if there are rainy or wet conditions. The hotline for the Saratoga field conditions (El Quito) is 868-1207. Remember to call!!! If you practice when the field is closed all teams in Quito LL might not be able to use the field.

Games are won at practice!
Keeping in the coaching spirit of this month’s Newsletter, we want to emphasize an important point. By preparing your players properly at practice, you will without doubt win your share of games. There is very little magic a baseball coach has at his disposal during a game; no special plays, no tricks and no assured influences. No special pre-game pep talks will influence the outcome of a game. No rah-rah stuff.
