THE LEAD

Times still aren’t up. Three parks this weekend: Lake Elsinore, Perris, Simi. Saturday and Sunday.

THREE THIS WEEK

Parent — Heat, not rain. Water on the hip. Shade on the break. CIF: water at least every 15–20 minutes, in the shade if you can. Food first. Fluids before, during, after. Energy drinks are not hydration (NFHS).

Player — See the at-bat. Feel it. Real time. Keep it useful (AASP). Lake Elsinore is turf: city says no metal, TCS says 14U+ can. Ask the TD.

Weekend — Pick an age. Then the park.
