Turf Ball

 





Welcome to the Turfball page. Our primary goal is to have fun and get some exercise during the winter months. We play at indoor field at TJO Sports, 33 Highfield Drive in Falmouth. This is informal BP followed by a scrimmage. Sign up for as many or as few sessions as you like. We collect $15 cash for day sessions and $20 for evening sessions to cover costs. 

Sessions are as follows: 

  • Tuesday 10:30 – 12. Starting Nov 18. If we sell out (18 players) we will occasionally play an extra half-hour at no extra cost. Cost is $15 cash collected after BP.
  • Thursday 1-2:30. These will start as soon as the Tuesday sessions start to fill up.
  • Friday D1 only. BP in cages from 10-10:30 and scrimmage on Turf field from 10:30-12. This will start Nov 14.
  • Wednesday evening 5-6 PM to start in January. $20 cash collected before or after session to maximize turf time. This is new date and time due to limited availability and higher cost due to evening facility fees.

Since there are a limited number of slots available for each game, signup prior to the game is required. Signups can be made on the SignUpGenius website. A link to the following month's sessions is below and will be sent via email to all Codger members as monthly times are released. Players must cancel any reservation they have made if they cannot attend the game. This allows other players to sign up for their slot. We may enter the Turf area for set up and warm-ups no earlier than 15 minutes prior to the sessions!
