Practice Fields
Practice Field Assignment Sheet
For Open/Closed Status of Practice Fields, please see Field & Game Info.
The St. Alban Soccer Association schedules practice fields for all coaches who participate in our program. This page provides guidelines and links to the practice field assignments that have been established based on the field-use permits obtained.
Please check Practice Field Status Information before you have your team practice. Call Rockwood School District (RSD) Hotline at (636) 733-1170 for latest updates in field conditions. If the Rockwood fields are closed, the SAR fields are closed. In case of rain, we kindly request all coaches to use caution when using practice fields. Please cancel your practice if field conditions are unsafe or if the field will be damaged due to use.
Field Utilization Policy
St. Alban uses Rockwood School District (RSD) fields for practices and both SAR and RSD fields for games. Our program has been supported over the years by RSD and we are grateful for the privilege. In order to maintain this privilege, our coaches, players and parents must adhere to the following:
|
- Teams are not allowed to request practice fields directly from Rockwood School District.
- Teams can only use the field timeslots assigned to them.
- Two teams will be assigned to each field per timeslot.
- Usage of playground and other facilities (bathrooms) are not included in the permits.
- School activities have priority over any soccer practices and permits.
- Children must be attended at all times by parents and/or coaches.
- Teams must leave the fields clean.
- Alcohol is prohibited at all fields, at all times.
