Field surface: Grass outfield, infield not stated

Grass outfield, infield not stated. The City of Pleasanton's field rate sheet lists Ken Mercer's girls softball fields (GSB 1–7) and Little League fields (LL 1–10) under natural grass; the city's only synthetic-turf rates are for the Stanford Medicine Sports Complex. It doesn't describe the infield skin. (Girls softball fields GSB 1–7, adult softball ASB 1–4 and Little League fields LL 1–10, plus soccer fields, on one park map (City of Pleasanton).)

Cleats: Not stated on the Summer Classic page. Grass fields, so check your division's rules on metal spikes.
