One of the most common questions I'm asked during the season is whether or not the playing fields are open. Here are some easy ways to find out the answer:
On the BAC homepage (https://www.burkeathleticclub.org/), the current "field status" is located in the bottom righthand corner and looks like this:
If you click on "View all Field Locations", it breaks it down further:
If for some reason the BAC website isn't up to date, you can also get the status of fields through the county: https://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/parks/athletic-field-status
Per the County website: "Field status may also be obtained by dialing 703-324-5264. Athletic field is updated Monday through Friday by 3 p.m. Status is not updated on weekends or county holidays. Leagues and game officials are responsible for determining playability of fields on weekends and communicating that information to teams and participants."
While the County doesn't specifically track elementary school fields, for grass we generally follow the recommendations for South Run Park 4.
Additionally, coaches can always make a determination that a field is unplayable on their own.
