As many of you probably heard, the police were called to Edgewood on Sunday.  The complaint was due to urination on someone's property, but the officer also discussed noise and open containers.  As we understand it, this was one of multiple complaints they have received this season.  Since it seems that some do not want us there, Kaw Valley Kickball has decided to discontinue our use of Edgewood until further notice.  We would also ask that you not use the field for practices and scrimmages.  To avoid wearing out our welcome on the other grassies, I strongly encourage you to reserve a field for your practices.  Here's the link for doing so:  http://www.lawrenceks.org/lprd/webenroll.

 

This is a good time to remind ourselves that our games take place in the middle of neighborhoods, so we need to behave as guests while we're there.  Please avoid urinating in yards, keep the volume low on your boombox, pick up your trash and cigarette butts, drive the speed limit, and don't flaunt your beverages.  The police have never shown any desire to crackdown on our league, so the ball's in our court to avoid future incidents. 

 

On an unrelated topic, we've had a few problems with teams turning in their equipment late.  I know Sunday was difficult with games at YSC, but it's happened every week so far.  Don't forget about rule 8.b.ii, which states that the winning team needs to get the equipment turned in by 9:00, or they will forfeit their victory.  Please give me a call or text if your game runs late.  You can find my number on the clipboard contact sheet.  Thank you for your help with this.

 

We're having a great season so far, despite these issues.  We just need everyone to be aware of their surroundings and to take care of their responsibilities so that KVKL can continue to flourish. 

 

Thanks all,

Geoff
