Field Use Etiquette Points to remember:
Plan to practice where you play games -- it will help spread out our teams around all of our West Seattle fields. Leading up to the first games, we set up our modified field locations (U8 to U12) which will allow younger teams to practice on the mod field where they will play games. Mod teams (U6-U12) should not practice in front of full-sized goals at an venue.
Goal safety reminder - make sure goals are properly secured with saddle bags when in use. When you are done with goals, you need to move them back to fence and lock (See GOAL MANAGEMENT page for more info). Do not leave goals on field. Combo Code to unlock goals is 7908..
NOTE: WSSC DOES NOT RESERVE PRACTICE FIELDS FOR SPRING SEASON.
Field Schedule GUIDANCE

Practice field reservations for U13-U19 teams
Last year WSSC piloted a reservation system for older teams for practices at Delridge South. This year, we are repeating the system using Walt Hundley (until Delridge South is back online) starting September 18.

Important - please read
- Some venue reservations are not a consistent night every week, and we don't always have the fields from 5-8pm. Please check the schedule before you practice.
- Some fields are assigned (reserved or shared) by Highline Premier (HPFC) and HSA Select teams. Please be respectful of their reservation. If they are not using the entire field, please ask permission before practicing on the field.
- SHARE THE FIELDS!!! A team can't occupy an entire field for their practice--if no other team shows up, then it is fine to use the entire field, but be prepared to run your practice on a half, or a third of a field space (or more on the full-sided fields). 3 teams can effectively use 1 field to run each of their practices--plan ahead! We all need to work together to share all of our fields.
- If you are a U12 or younger team and end up practicing at a venue with full-sized goals, please practice to the side so the full-sided teams (U13 and older) can use the goal.
- Please do not schedule scrimmages during WSSC practice field reservation times. If you are the only 2 teams on a particular field, then please feel free to have an impromptu scrimmage! Be aware that if other WSSC teams show up to use the field, you must share the field! As stated earlier, 3 teams (or more) may have to use one full sized field for their practices--keep that in mind when planning a scrimmage. If you can find field time outside of scheduled WSSC practice times, please set up your pre-planned scrimmages at those times.
