There aren't many things in life that are FREE, but here's one.  During the season, it may be necessary to close the fields due to inclimate weather.  Often times, the rain out line becomes overwhelmed with call volume and its difficult for parents to get through.  Now you don’t have to rely on just the rain out line.

Again this season, when the county closes any of the fields within the county, in addition to the information on the rain out line, they will use a website to communicate current field status information.  As the field status changes, it will be updated instantly on SMP website.  

Additionally, for FREE parents can join the  StatusMe network where members are alerted instantly both via emails and cellular text messages (charges may apply from your cell phone provider). 

The best part is that it’s FREE to join the network. 

Club members can receive instant electronic communications (email and/or cellular text messaging) when the field status changes (i.e. Opened or Closed).  Members no longer have to constantly check club websites and weather hotlines for the latest information.  Information comes to you when it changes. 

The current field status is posted on the park website

9.  Click on the “done” button
10. You’ll now receive the type of notice(s) that you selected when the field status changes

Please note that because many of the age groups play or practice at more than one park, we did not set up the notices to be delivered by individual park. Otherwise, parents would have had to join a club for each park in order to get the field status for parks other than their home park. By having one notice, we can cover all fields at all parks with one notice.
