  BALL DIAMOND MAINTENANCE AND BEST PRACTICES WORKSHOP
  

  Ball Diamond maintenance is a regular, necessary and costly procedure. Whether using stone dust, a mixture of clay, sand, original materials or the new diamond conditioners, amendments and materials, a similar process must be used. They all require regular grooming and good maintenance practices. This program will illustrate best practices and maintenance standards to your front line staff. A reasonable standard of maintenance is now a necessity because of risk management principles that indicate all diamonds should be maintained to a standard and level of acceptance equivalent to the municipalities around you. In the case of an incident, or an injury, that is what the lawyers are now using as a bench mark for a "standard of care".
  

  This course will cover:

  • Fundamentals of General Field Maintenance
    
  • Pitchers Mound Maintenance
    
  • A Front Line Worker's Role
    
  • Ball Diamond / Fields Checklist for Risk Management Objectives
    
  • Striping, Lining and Logos
    
  • Irrigation and Drainage on Infields
    
  • Dragging, Infield Grooming Practices and Equipment
