Coastal Division Field Change Through June
Starting Thursday April 25th, all Coastal Division games previously scheduled for Ogden Blue field will now be played at Olsen Park Field #3. This schedule will remain in effect until at least the end of June. Field access time is 9:00 am and teams must be off the field no later than 12:30pm. This is necessary due to poor conditions in the outfield of the Blue Field resulting in injuries to WSSA players. The New Hanover Parks and Gardens department is investigating the problem and, with the help of other experts, will attempt to correct the problem, but it will take time.
