Slo Pitch | Facilities and Equipment Menu

The ESSC rents the majority of outdoor fields and diamonds from the City of Edmonton Parks and Recreation Department. As tenants, players must respect the standards and rules of each field:

• Alcohol consumption and smoking is prohibited on any outdoor field or in the parking lots. Offending players are subject to the ESSC Facility fine policy, by-law fines from the City, or removal from ESSC Leagues.
• Please do not “mark” your fields. Public urination is illegal and although some fields do not have a port-o-potty located close by, players are expected to travel to the nearest washroom if the occasion should arise.
• All public by-laws apply when using a field; including excessive noise or music, offensive language, littering, etc.
• Be respectful to homeowners, community residents or anyone else who is sharing the field or surrounding area.
• Players are responsible for property damage they cause including surrounding houses, cars or property.
• Spectators are permitted to attend outdoor games but are to remain seated or in the stands during the game and should always be positioned a safe distance away from the activity.  Minors must be accompanied by an adult at all times.

The ESSC also rents time at private outdoor facilities across the City. Similar rules apply to those as listed above.

Any player who causes the ESSC to receive a complaint regarding a field rented by the ESSC will receive a $100 fine and may be ejected from the League. 

• Spring / Summer Evening Leagues: 6:00pm - 7:45pm (depending on time of year, sunlight and double rotations)
• In many instances, the ESSC uses the diamonds for two sets of games in a row (double rotations) on a given night. It is important for teams to respect this fact and to start and end games on time when part of the early rotation, as to not affect game length for the teams in the late rotation. If teams end games early and there is still time left before the next rotation, they are free to continue to play for fun on the diamonds.
• Fields are chosen based on availability, quality and location. Some leagues utilize many facilities, while other leagues may play out of a specific facility. The ESSC will always attempt to ensure a fair distribution of locations when building a schedule.
• Each schedule lists all fields used in that division, with corresponding Google map links. Players should view these details in order to familiarize themselves with parking, important notes and past complaints for certain fields. Some sites will have multiple fields, so it is important to review which field the ESSC has booked.
• Players should arrive at the diamonds 15 minutes before their scheduled game time to allow time to warm-up, change and stretch. 

• Regional pick-up locations for Slo-Pitch Balls ONLY. An ESSC representative will be set up in the parking lot of the locations above with the ESSC Van. If your team requires anything other than slo-pitch balls, you must send someone to one of our in-office pick-up dates.
• Anyone can pick up or drop off equipment; it does not have to be the Team Captain or the person who put down the deposit, just someone who can represent the team and who is available on one of the dates.
• Players are not required to clean their equipment before it's returned.
• If you drop off your equipment on any day other than a designated date, you will be subject to a $10 non-refundable fee.
• All rented equipment must be returned the same year that is was rented in order to receive a refund.
  • Please note that when equipment is returned, the deposit will be refunded, minus a $30 rental fee (excluding Multi-Sport packages).
