As stated in the Coaches Information sheet provided to every coach at the beginning of each season:  
Do not use the Robinwood game fields for practice!

WCSC has a limited number of practice fields located at Adams Lake and Silver Lake.

Unfortunately, we have significantly more teams than available practice fields and we simply can’t provide every team a place to practice.   

To determine whether a practice field at Adams Lake West or Silver Lake is available, you must contact the WCSC Field and Game Scheduler (Doug Lynch at wcscassignor@swbell.net).  Practice fields are generally assigned on a first-come first-served basis with preference given to those coaches/teams willing to help mow and maintain the fields during the summer.

Note below that the Adams Lake Center and Adams Lake East fields have been designated for WCSC Academy Team practice.

ACADEMY TEAM PRACTICE AREAS:

U5-U6 Teams ALC (Adams Lake Center Field):

In the fall of 2010, all U5 teams will practice at ALC on Mondays OR on Thursdays from 6 until 7 PM.  (U5 and U6 teams may practice only once per week.  At registration time, U5 parents will be offered the option of practicing on EITHER Mondays OR on Thursdays.  Teams will then be created based on the players electing to practice on that given night.) 

In the fall of 2010, all U6 teams will practice at ALC on Tuesdays OR Fridays from 6 until 7 PM. 

U7-U8 Teams ALE (Adams Lake East):

In the fall of 2010, ALE which currently contains 1-U10 and 4-U8 fields will be identified as the dedicated practice area for all WCSC U7 and U8 teams.  (The U10 goals currently at ALE will be removed.)

In the fall of 2010, all U7 Girls teams will practice on the West end of ALE on Mondays and Thursdays from 6 until 7 PM.  All U7 Boys teams will practice on the East end of ALE on Mondays and Thursdays from 6 until 7 PM.   

In the fall of 2010, all U8 Girls teams will practice at the West end of ALE on Tuesdays and Fridays from 6 until 7 PM.  All U8 Boys teams will practice at the East end of ALE on Tuesdays and Fridays from 6 until 7 PM. 

Many have asked, “When will U9 Boys and Girls and U10 Girls teams practice as Academies?”  WCSC is looking for a location containing sufficient space where U9/U10 Academy teams can practice. 

On several occasions, WCSC has asked Brooke Cox, Bartlesville Parks Department and Lisa Beeman, Bartlesville City Planner, for permission to develop the area North of Lowes and West of the Adams Lake field (at WCSC’s expense).  WCSC’s  requests were denied and this denial has been difficult for WCSC to understand. 

The Bartlesville economy benefits from dollars spent in Bartlesville by soccer teams travelling to Bartlesville to play.   With the help of the Bartlesville Chamber of Commerce this influx was estimated to be $238,757 for the Fall 2009 season, or an estimated $477,514 annually.

WCSC is pursuing other options which may unfortunately result in construction of U9/U10 practice and game fields in either Dewey or Ochelata.
