Clean them when they are dirty.
We have a lot of sand on the fields here (to help with drainage during the rainy times) and often the lights aren't the greatest. So a little cleaning when they get covered up might help you see a little better (YEAH RIGHT) but the coaches think it does.
I call it preventive officiating.
Actally, it helps to stop the runners from getting a bad start as the push off and keeps them from oversliding too much.
You would be amaazed how much trouble aa little bit of sand can cause.

Plus I do it because in almost all of the Nationals I have done, the UIC wanted it done.

It looks purdy! Thats pretty for people like Mike who live in the foreign wastelands of Delaware. HEHE
