Packing notes

Field surfaces may differ by field, so pack shoes for grass and turf.
Central Kansas summers are hot, sunny and windy: bring a canopy with weights, sunscreen and plenty of water.
Storms build fast on the plains; keep rain gear and a layer in the car.
Bring folding chairs and a cooler for long days between games; there's a playground for siblings.
