2024 REMINDER-
Just a reminder to our Visiting Teams this Summer, Hladky Stadium in Gillette will require pitchers to wear molded cleats or turf shoes when pitching on our turf mound. All Position players (other than pitcher) will still be allowed to wear metal spikes. This has been the common theme everywhere we go that has a turf mound and it will greatly extend the life of our mound each year. This change went into effect for all levels of play in 2023 for all Post 42 players and our visiting opponents. The 2024 season can’t get here fast enough!
