Reston-Herndon Little League receives field permits from two authorities: Fairfax County Parks and Recreation, and Reston Association. In the event of inclement weather and/or poor field conditions these organizations will make the primary/earliest decision on a given weekday with respect to which fields will be open or closed.
Their contact information is provided below. They usually post their decisions by 3pm (on weekdays), but it can be later.
RHLL will try to update the field status to the left, however coaches should always doublecheck if there is any question.
Although Reston Association or Fairfax County may make a decision to leave fields open on a particular day, Reston-Herndon Little League may still decide to close a field due to safety or playability concerns. Our Field Commissioner is the final authority on such field closings, and those decisions are final.
Closing a field means the entire field is closed, including the outfield areas unless it is specifically stated otherwise. Cages at Crabtree may be used even if the fields are closed, although coaches must schedule time on the league schedule. Use Common SenseEven if your field is open DO NOT USE FIELDS if the conditions could result in injury to a player or cause damage to the field. Limit practice to the outfield if the infield is too muddy.
Neither games nor practices should be held if field conditions are such that usage may increase the risk of injury to players or may cause damage to the field.
