BEST FIELDS

My3Sonsaz,

Again, welcome to the area. I hope your son finds the success that you guys are looking for.....Also, I want to let you know, I would love to have him come play summer baseball at Lynnhaven Baseball in Virginia Beach. We are the best there is in the area for summer baseball for 19U.

I can speak for a few fields in the Beach Area......most of the coaches spend lots of time on the fields in the Beach. I would say Landstown being the newest is probably at the top of the list (Beach Tournament held here). Princess Anne probably has the best infield.....Kempsville seems to be a hitters park in my opinion. Cox has the best press box. Kellam has a major glare in the batter/catcher eyes at times.

Billy, I can't believe it! You are amazing!
Don't forget the short fence in Kellam's right field.

In the Southeastern District, Grassfield, Nansemond River and GB are probably the nicest, IMO. IR is a decent playing surface. Hickory has the nicest IF dirt, IMO (true hops). OS and KF are not so good.

Oscar Smith is working on there field.we have put stuff down 3rd. baselline and 1 baseline.

Redbird, The field at WB is pretty good, also, in the SED.

From late summer of 2004 thru late summer of 2007 this is what R. Charles Hott Stadium looked like on the campus of James Wood High School in Winchester. Unfortunately, since Frederick County Park-n-Rec is basically in total control of field maintenance, it does not look like the slideshow below.

Sherando High School just (Spring of 2008) made some major renovations to their baseball field which consisted of moving back the backstop, installing and dropping the dugouts, install new bleachers in the ballpark of $300k-$350k range.

saipanwarrior,

Thank you, please send me some info(my3sonsaz@gmail.com) on the league and I will talk to my son. I really appreciate it.

Sorry Billy, I would not put Landstown at the top of the list at the beach.

When Coach Wilson left FC, that field was by far the superior playing surface. I assume Coach Stubbe has kept it in good shape. With the help of dedicated individuals like Fieldbuilder, PA's complex has become, IMHO the best (and not just because my kids went there).

Grasscutter,

I only put Landstown there because of it being the newest and with lights......accessability is not the best there as we all know.

Billy

I wasn't even thinking about the accessibility issue, but thanks for including that fact.

Hey, when you talk again to my3sonsaz, be sure to mention that Lynnhaven has by far the best playing surface and complex for summer teams also (I know, shameless).

Folks, can you share some "pics" and upload to a photobucket account which is free to use.

Don't forget that Lynnhaven fields also have real bathrooms, that is when they are working and open!

Maury has a great field as well. It is maintained throughout the summer for Legion ball, and the pitcher's mound is the best I have seen/used in the entire area. It is where my adult league plays, and being a pitcher I appreciate the professional feel that a pure clay mound gives. Thanks to the coaches, parents, and donors who keep this area one of the top places in the country for baseball.

'43, the handle goes "down".

In the Eastern district, Norcom and Booker T. by far the worst fields...worst than rec league. Maury by far the best with Lake Taylor second and Churchland third. Wilson will be playing in a new place this year finally! No more going to the cemetery to play them.

where is wilson playing this year?

Where does wilson play there home games this year?
