Additional Requirements for NPL / ECNL-RL Games

NPL / ENCL-RL games have additional requirements as outlined in the NorCal Handbooks. MVLA provides equipment to meet these requirements, and it is up to your team to arrange for a volunteer or volunteers to pick up this equipment on the day of your game or coordinate with other teams for a handoff between games. Because this equipment is shared between teams, you must only pick up the equipment allocated to your team on the dates designated to avoid conflicts.

Equipment for this field is stored in the storage unit at Graham Middle School. The MVLA storage room is unit B on the opposite side of the concession/bathroom building. The key is located in a key lock box located on the fence next to the building. Note that there are 2 lock boxes. MVLA’s lock box is the large Igloohome lock box on the left side of the fence. Type in the code and press the unlock button, wait for the light to flash green, then pull the front of the box open. Return the key IMMEDIATELY to the key lock box after opening the door and propping it open before retrieving ANY equipment. DO NOT place it in your pocket and forget to return it.

• 2 canopies
• 2 sets of 4 canopy sand bag weights (total of 8)
