Corona Del Mar High School Baseball Field 2025
This field is maintained by the Corona Del Mar High School Turf Class (Turf Kings). CDM HS has a special program that helps to maintain Sea Kings Field. Head Baseball Coach Kevin McCaffrey started a turf program in 2021 and they have one class period dedicated to turf management. They call the students in the class the “CDM Turf Kings.” The students are learning how to maintain the baseball fields at CDM. After safety training and being taught how to use the machines, the students are the ones helping to maintain the facility.
They have a very limited annual budget of $15,000 dedicated to field maintenance. Their major projects include overseeding the fields in November each year. The process for their facility includes a dethatch, throwing seed down, and topping it. They also put down fertilizer. They stay off the fields for two months and start striping the fields in January. They do a minor summer rehab on worn spots. They also must pay for paint, clay, conditioner, gas, deal with breakdowns, and service all their machines.

Cal State Bakersfield Fields
Both Hardt Field (baseball) and their soccer field were overseeded with Pro Sportsfield Elite turfgrass mixture (Sahara Bermuda, Allaire 3 Perennial Rye, Evening Shade Perennial Rye). The baseball field was overseeded in September 2022; the soccer field was overseeded in November 2022. The wet winter helped produce full coverage. They have a 3-man crew who did all renovations in-house and are in the middle of summer renovations right now.
