There is to be no one on the GRASS Stadium field at Gainesville Middle School. I know that it is very tempting to warm up on the grass, but as a league, we do not have permission to use the grass field.
Due to on-going construction at Herndon High School, the only safe access to the turf fields is a newly constructed path - it is highlighted in yellow arrows. The path begins in the southwest corner of the high school property in a gravel parking area. The gravel parking area is marked as "Drop-off Only. No Parking." Players may be dropped off here, but please park in the areas marked "Parking" on the map - existing parking lots on the high school property that are not impacted by the construction.
Do NOT park in either of the neighboring churches - You will be towed.
Do NOT park on either Dranesville Road or Bennett Street - You will be ticketed.
We apologize for the inconvenience and truly appreciate your cooperation!
