{Last Updated on July 16, 2000}

Directions to the Cranford Soccer Club fields are provided below. Click on the "Maps On Us" icon below to see a map of Cranford showing the location of all of our fields. Click on the "back" button on your browser to return to this page. If you are still unsure of exactly where our fields are, give us a call or e-mail the Club at the numbers shown below.

New for the 2000 Soccer Year: All Cranford Soccer Club fields are now "TOBACCO FREE!" and we are asking your cooperation and assistance in passing along this information to coaches, parents and referees.

"TOBACCO FREE" means that no smoking or chewing is allowed on or near the fields--i.e., on any grass areas surrounding the playing areas. Tobacco use is allowed in the parking lots or sidewalks surrounding the fields but, even in these areas, we strongly discourage their use. Needless to say, all fields are, of course, to be kept drug and alcohol free.
