The field Joshua maintains is a 4.1 acre sand based Bermuda grass surface which encompasses one baseball, softball, soccer and football. All the field maintenance is performed by Joshua mowing, aerification, fertilization, edging, top-dressing over-seeding, mound and plate repair as well as skinned areas on the baseball and softball fields. Let’s not forget irrigation repair, irrigation scheduling and IPM. By the way Joshua has no assistant! He does receive assistance with lining for the various events.
Joshua reports directly to the Athletic Director Charlie Wund who is assisted by the Michael Quigley, Associate Athletic Director. Joshua, Charlie , Michael and the entire staff and student body certainly have a facility to be proud of! Congratulations San Diego Jewish Academy.
