Summer League Games at the Grimes Sports Plex - July 28th

We will play both games on Wednesday July 28th at 6:15 and 7:15 at the Grimes Sports Plex


Hello All,

Again this week the George Flagg Parkway Road is flooded cutting us off from our summer league fields at Water Works Park. So, we will be playing our summer league games this Wednesday July 28th at the Grimes Sports Plex. PLEASE NOTE THAT IF IT IS RAINING ON WEDNESDAY DURING OUR GAMES, WE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO PLAY AT THESE FIELDS AND WE WILL HAVE TO CANCEL SUMMER LEAGUE. A posting on www.iowaultimate.com and an email will be sent out by 5 pm if we are NOT going to be able to play at the Sports Plex.

Assuming that everything works out, please make sure you allow extra time to get to the fields so we can start the games on time!

I would ask everyone to help us out with the following:

1. THERE IS NO ALCOHOL ALLOWED AT THE PARK, ON THE FIELDS, OR IN THE PARKING LOT.
2. Please do not bring glass containers to the fields.
3. Please pick up after yourself and your team.
4. If at all possible, please leave your pets at home. If they must come, they must stay on their leash and the leash can not be longer than 6 feet.
5. Please park only the designated parking area.
6. Watch your SPEED. You have been warned! Law enforcement often is found on the edge of town and close to the park.
7. And most importantly, please respect the fields. We do have to pay to play at the fields and this is our trial night. We want to make sure that if we need to use the fields again that we can.
8. THERE IS NO ALCOHOL ALLOWED AT THE PARK, ON THE FIELDS, OR IN THE PARKING LOT. (Just in case someone missed it)
9. Please spread the word to your teammates so everyone knows!

Directions

The Sport Plex is located at South James Street & South 6th Street in Grimes, IA 50111.

From Des Moines: Link to Google Maps Driving Directions
Take 141 North to NW 19th/NW 62 Ave (approx 1.5 miles), turn left. Take 19th to James (1.0 mile), turn right on 128th (0.3 miles), 128th becomes James when you get into Grimes. Complex is on the edge of town on the left side of James. Parking located at the far end as well as around the large playground area.

From Ames: Link to Google Maps Driving Directions
Those coming from Ames, might come down Hwy 17 or the back roads through Polk City. If they come through town, they will need to turn left at the stop sign by Casey and take the detour down 1st. South James is closed for a couple blocks but opens about 4 blocks down.

Again, please make sure you get to the fields as early as possible so we can get the games started on time!
