  Directions

The fields for the 2006 Spring/Summer season have not yet been assigned by the various towns and municipalities. In past seasons, we have used the following fields:  

Directions to various fields are attached. There may be shorter, faster and/or more direct routes, but the attached directions are designed to provide a simple way to each field given that we have players from every town in Rockland as well as from Westchester, New York City, New Jersey and Connecticut.

Once again, it is EMPHASIZED that you visit each field BEFORE you have a game there to insure your timely arrival on game day.

Questions?  Call me! These directions will be updated in relation to any additional or different fields prior to the beginning of the season.
