Directions to Fields Click on the field number below for directions
Instructions The fields have names and numbers. For example, the "Brown Complex" is also known as Field #3. On the BAYS website, you might see "3B" in the field column. That means your game is on field B at Brown. Note: some fields, like Weeks, have two numbers. Both numbers refer to the same field.
		Note: these are not the field numbers for the Columbus Day tournament. Go to the tournament page for those directions.

Policy on field closure

The Newton fields may be closed for two reasons (1) to protect the fields -- use of the fields when there is substantial water kills the grass and causes "bald" sports, (2) to protect the players, as per USSF policy for lightning and thunder - it is imperative for players/coaches/referees and spectators to leave the field if there is thunder (and/or lightning). 

The United States Soccer Federation (USSF) position is that if you can hear thunder you are within reach of lightning and that referees must protect the safety of all participants by stopping game activities quickly, so that participants and spectators may retire to a safer place before the lightning threat becomes significant.  Applying the 30-30 rule is recommended and to wait thirty minutes or more after hearing the last thunder before leaving shelter.

Care of Fields

Take care of our fields.  Under no circumstances should you practice on an exceptionally wet or muddy field.  Take extra care not to tear up the goal mouths.  One session of abuse can ruin a field for a season.  YOU DO NO NEED TO USE THE GOALS TO PRACTICE.  IF YOU DO USE THE GOALS, MOVE THEM OUT OF THE GOAL MOUTH.  We are trying to ensure our fields are available for years of use.  Make sure that others do not abuse the fields.  When you leave a field after practice, if the goals are portable, please leave the goals a few yards behind or to the side of the goal mouths, to avoid unnecessary wear and tear during the week.
