NO E-BIKE POLICY AT ALL LOCATIONS

LOCATION: Games will be played at the Orange County Great Park

OC GREAT PARK
8000 Great Park Blvd, Irvine, CA 92618

PARKING
Parking will be crowded on Friday nights, so plan accordingly.

PARKING FOR FIELDS 8-13
Teams playing games on fields 8-13 should park in Lot 6 or Lot 7. We suggest parking in Lot 6, as it is the biggest lot available. You can access Lot 6 two ways. If entering Great Park on Marine Way make a U turn at Skyhawk, then a right into Lot 6. 

Lot 7 is also available, but please note that it is a smaller parking lot. If there are no spots and you have to go back to Lot 6 you will need to circle all the way back around with no U turn available at Marine Way and Ridge Valley.

Parking can also be found in Lots 1, 5 and 2, but that is a much longer walk.

There is no longer any parking along Marine Way. Violators will be ticketed.

The information tent is located between fields 9 and 12 (see pink star) for anyone with questions, or needing directions to a field.

• WEATHER POLICY / FIELD CONDITIONS: Throughout the season, during inclement weather we will send field updates via email and postings on the website. While we view football as an all weather sport it is the city's decision on whether to close the fields. On those weeks we have field concerns we will look to move games onto the synthetic fields.

  • No pockets
  • No striped shorts that make the flag hard to distinguish
  • Black in color

• MOUTH GUARDS: For safety reasons all players must have a mouthpiece. Any player without a mouthpiece will be asked to leave the game. If a player forgets or loses his mouthpiece, replacements are available at the Information tent near the field.

• SPORTSMANSHIP:  Youth sports programs play an important role in promoting the physical, social, and emotional development of children. It is therefore essential for parents, coaches, and officials to encourage youth athletes to embrace the values of good sportsmanship. Moreover, adults involved in youth sports events should be models of good sportsmanship and should lead by example by demonstrating fairness, respect and self-control.  For the league's complete code of conduct please click here: Code of Conduct. Any spectator who does not abide by these rules will be asked to leave.
