Packing notes

The field surface isn't verified yet, so ask your coach what footwear to bring.
Kansas summers are hot and windy: bring a canopy with weights, sunscreen and plenty of water.
Spring and fall storms can build quickly on the plains; keep rain gear and a layer in the car.
Pack swimsuits and towels if your family plans to cool off at the park's splash pad or Rock River Rapids in season.
