Inland and coastal, and it matters
The league names three locations and distinguishes them by climate, which almost nobody does: the Ojai Valley School upper campus and Fillmore Two Rivers Park inland, where its own notice says severe heat is expected, and coastal fields in Ventura where the turf and dirt still get unseasonably hot.
Ojai to the coast is twenty miles and several degrees.
It keeps a Locations section alongside its schedule.
A High Cheese schedule attaches the ground to each game and carries it into every player's phone, so a Sunday in Fillmore and a Sunday in Ventura arrive with the right address and, in this league, the right warning.
