Siebrets Field

Running a sports field in the Western Cape means planning around winter rainfall and ensuring drainage works when storms roll in. Siebrets Field manages pitch condition through seasonal challenges — keeping surfaces playable during the wet months requires thought about underlay, compaction, and water management that's different from inland provinces. Maintenance schedules shift with the climate; summer means managing faster grass growth and occasional dry spells, winter brings drainage emergencies and mold risk. Lighting for evening fixtures must handle salt spray near the coast, and field markings need repainting more often in this weather pattern. The facility's usability across seasons directly affects whether clubs can maintain consistent training and fixture schedules year-round.
