Southfield built on Gill Yards follows a basic minor league and wiffleball philosophy: build into an area that lets you. In 2005 Gill Yards was used, because we did not have much portable fencing available, and the area provided static fencing for most of left and right field; meaning we would only have to cover center and part of right center. A novel solution in a pinch, but the shoehorning of a wiffleball field between a track and tennis court led to an odd configuration and dimensions. Gotta love it! By 2010, after working with a couple different variations of the difficult extremes at play, the dimensions had been orchestrated to a balance of short and deep. Both right and left field near the lines were very short. The left field line was only 78', with the track fence curving in slightly to make LF's shortest point 77'. To counteract the shortness, a segment of 10'x10' fencing from the Rodney was placed along the track fence at the shortest point. Left field continued to curve out into the power alley reaching a distance of 90'. The right field line was 68' at the first pole inside the tennis court fence. So, there was one fence segment coming back into play, resulting in a short porch in right field of 65'. The fence then ran away quickly at a sharp angle, making the right-center power alley over 100.' Dead center loomed at 105' along an arching span of short fence running through right center at depths approaching 110'
