Lenz Field & Sports Complex position and rules regarding metal cleats for boys ages 13-18u:
We have designed the two high school fields (fields #1 and #2) @ Lenz Sports Complex to allow players to wear metal cleats. This was discussed many times in designing the fields. We talked to many coaches and tournament directors at all levels from all over the midwest regarding this issue. In the end we decided to build these two fields to allow players to wear metal cleats. That being said it should be noted that when we visited the University of Illinois and The Ripkin Experience Fields we discovered the fields played better with rubber cleats. We were informed that all of the U of I players wear rubber cleats, even though they are allowed to wear metal. At Ripkin one coach told us he felt they lost a game because one of their outfielders cleats stuck in the turf and he did not get a good jump on the ball. Our final rule on this issues is that we allow metal cleats but encourage coaches and players to consider rubber cleats on our fields.
