All soccer field operations need a storage facility for the many pieces of field and maintenance equipment. This utility room includes a rack storage unit to hold soccer goal nets, string winders, and soccer flags. This is an excellent example of how to improve your storage operations for volunteers throughout the season
Every soccer organization should have access to a core aerator, preferably one that pulls plugs. This unit is designed for attachment to a small tractor using a three point hitch. The importance of field aeration can not be over emphasized with the opportunity to decrease soil compaction and improve water and air infiltration.
Storage of soccer marking flags can be a challenge. Here a storage closet has been incorporated into the overall wall storage unit.
Ground plugs have multiple purposes, cover the ground anchor for the marking flag as well as for pulling string when marking out a field for striping. Tru Mark Field Line Anchors and Marking Flags tries to minimize the additional equipment. The Field Line anchor includes a dead space for collecting debris without having to install a cap as well as its metal body making it easier to find using magnet tool. Smaller body allows for multiple staking devices for line and paint striping. http://www.athleticfieldmarker.com/Products/LineAnchor-Flag.html
Where to you store your hand tools? A storage rack is always a good choice for getting equipment off the floor and easily visible by volunteers. This allows staff to confirm inventory quickly as well as the condition of the tools. An enclosed storage unit is always a very good for storing flamable liquids.
Bulk paint mixing stations come in many different sizes. Mixing bulk latex field marking paint can be a chore when you have numerous fields to stripe. This 30 gallon plastic barrel has been placed on a bench with a converted drill press outfitted with an extended paint paddle to throughly mix their paint. I suspect that the user will quickly modify the spigot so the paint can be drained directly into a self-propelled field marking unit such as the RS-500F. http://www.athleticfieldmarker.com/Products/RS-500F.html
Storage of cleaning supplies and access to hot water is critical to facility and field maintenance operations. Empty 5-gallon buckets come in handy when cleaning operations are required as well as picking up trash around your facilities. Cleaning solutions are stored out of reach of children yet within close arm reach to get your job done effectively. Step ladders are back savers and prevent reaching falls. A wheel barrow is a field maintenance staff life saver for filling holes, carrying compost and other turf supplies and tools, and repairing section of the turf.
