Updates are posted here by 4:00 PM each weekday any time field playability is in question due to weather.

FRIDAY, MAY 3rd: ALL FIELDS OPEN, except for Patriot #1, #2, & #4. They are prepped for tournament and games tomorrow.

IT IS IMPORTANT TO HONOR THE CLOSED STATUS.  IF A DIAMOND IS MARKED CLOSED, EITHER BY AN ANNOUNCEMENT ON THIS WEBSITE OR BY SIGNAGE PUT OUT BY KPR AT THE PARK, THAT MEANS IT IS COMPLETELY OFF LIMITS.

NOTE:   On April 15th Kearney Park & Rec staff announced that lights on all baseball fields at Patriot Park will not be available for use until further notice.  A technician from the manufacturer - Musco Lighting - is scheduled to be in Kearney on Monday, April 29, which should provide KPR with more information about how long it will take to resolve the issues.  FOR MANAGERS WHO WOULD LIKE TO PRACTICE LATER IN THE DAY, UNDER LIGHTS, CHECK THE SIGNUP SHEET FOR HARMON, COLLINS and WEST LINCOLNWAY PARK AVAILABILITY.
UPDATE:  The City informed KLL on May 2nd that the lighting issues have been resolved, and that the lights are now programmed to accommodate future practices and games going forward.  

REGULAR SEASON RAIN OUT INFORMATION

If any games are cancelled due to weather or field conditions, the announcement will be posted on the Kearney Little League website - HERE -  by 4:00 pm on the day of the games.  After 4:00 p.m. weather delays or cancellations will be determined at the field(s).  Umpires and managers will work together in making a determination, in accordance with KLL policies on lightning and field playability factors, with umpires having the final word.  

REGULAR SEASON RAIN OUT GAME MAKE-UP PROCEDURE 

The two rain out game managers communicate with their division coordinator that they have a makeup game and between the three they decide the date and time they would like to play.

The division coordinator will then communicate with the following people:  KPR to reserve and prepare the field, the umpire coordinator to schedule the officials, and the two managers that their game is now officially rescheduled.

PRE-SEASON PRACTICE WEATHER INFORMATION

Weekdays:  The Kearney Park & Recreation staff will inform the KLL board of directors if any baseball diamonds are unplayable/closed.  The notifications will be shared at this location by 4:00 pm on the day of any closures. 

Weekends:  The KPR staff will put out signs at the parks notifying of closures due to playability/conditions.
