December 30, 2009

Being selected as a “Field of the Year” by the National STMA is no small feat. This year’s winner the San Diego Jewish Academy’ s high school soccer field is truly an amazing field and is managed by Joshua Koss.

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.
