Parking at Hoffman Fields
Per the Howell Twp Police Dept, the following parking changes are in
effect at Hoffman Fields:
Parking in the
small lot to the left of the brick building is by permit only. Only
cars displaying a valid dashboard card will be allowed.
Vehicles in the
larger lot must park in marked spaces. Anyone parked in fire lanes,
exits and entrances, or on the grass will be ticketed.
If the lots are
full, park at Memorial Middle School. There is a gate near
Field 5 so that you can safely walk from Memorial to Hoffman.
The police will
continue to patrol all lots. Illegally parked vehicles may be
ticketed.
Please remember to park courteously. Do not block other cars, or the
emergency entrance between the two green trailers.
Please do not park on the grassy areas near the roadway at Hoffman,
and do not park on the curved part of the driveway.
Do not park at the Social Services Building across the road. It's too
dangerous to cross the road. The entrances to the building will be
barricaded on weekends we play.
Coaches' Background Checks
Pursuant
to Howell Township Ordinance 0-02-20, Pinelanders
is obliged to require all coaches and assistant coaches to undergo
criminal background checks before being assigned a coaching
position. Coaches must initiate the process by attending a
fingerprinting session.
If you are volunteering to coach or assist, or to help as an
unofficial coach with a team, and you have not yet been fingerprinted,
please let us know and begin the background check process! Please
contact Jason Schindler
for more information.
The background check program is managed on behalf of the Township by KidSafe Record Checks. For a list of
approved coaches please visit the KidSafe web page.
