;	Odd location for a field (in the middle of the neighborhood) but the field is in pretty good shape.

;	watch out for the metal posts in the corner of each endzone. this is where 2nd base goes. The field is the outfields of two baseball fields. Other than that it`s good.

;	to my last post. they`re not metal. they are safety bases so they have those little hard rubber nubbs that keep the bases down.

;	up hill and down,grass never mowed i.e. grass is always wet in the morning and to tall,my team mate caught a TD and ran into a big tree on the end zone line and cut his head,two baseball fields run through it,it would be a great pee wee field with no throwing passes incide the 5

oh yeah

;	I forgot about the tree with the branches hanging over the left corner of the endzone. Don`t worry about the graas though. By half way through the season the grass will dead and the ground will be as hard as a rock. It does suck.

;	Hook is a great field. Its completely level, and no bare spots at all besides the little league infields between 1st and 3rd base in the corners of each endzone. I`ve never even seen the grass brown in the 14 years we`ve used the field. The Reston Association really takes good care of it. The tree is not in the field of play and is no more a hazard than a goalpost on any other field.

;	Just look at the championship game pics from the Spring - that`s the field we used for A and C last year, and for A for most years.
