Use of fields

1. Enter the fields only by way of the entrance gate(s) and not by climbing over the fence. Only walk on the paved pathways when accessing the fields. This avoids sand and other organic materials being brought onto the fields.
2. Make sure the soles of your shoes are free of mud, grass and other matter.
3. Access to the fields is restricted to players, supervisors, trainers and referees only. Only the permitted footwear may be worn. Spectators and other visitors are not allowed onto the fields.
4. Food and chewing gum is not permitted on the field. Smoking and glassware are strictly prohibited.
5. If the ball should go over the fence during the game, ask a spectator to return it to you. Do not walk through the grass and mud to retrieve it. Only use the entrance gates and do not climb over the fence.
6. Use the brushes and mats for cleaning your shoes before entering the field.
7. Sports clothing must always been worn during sporting activities.

• Spikes and shoes with flat soles are not permitted on the football and rugby field.

Wintery conditions

The fields cannot be used in the winter period if:

• there is snow on the field. The snow must first melt of its own accord
• there is ice on the field (artificial grass fibres will break off)
• the temperature is below -10 C
• it has started to thaw, but the underlying frost layer has not yet disappeared
