constructing a regulation mound

mwitz10+ posts

I'm a high school baseball coach in CA and it is our schools first year of CIF play. Our home field does not have a raised regulation mound and I'd prefer not to use an expensive unsightly portable mound. I'm looking for help, advice, or suggestions for a coach who has no expirience with building a regulation pitcher's mound. Procedure, materials, helpful hints? Any feedback is welcome. Thanks

This has some info about what type of "dirt to use.

I put one in my back yard a couple years ago, but I didnt make it too professional, like you may have to do. Mine is about 12 feet wide with the standard slope. I had a lot of fun. Good luck
