Clackamas High School is a part of the Mt. Hood Conference. The Mt. Hood Conference is a competitive and geographically diverse league, featuring a mix of turf and grass fields that create unique strategic challenges. From the short corners at Gresham and Nelson to the deep outfields at Reynolds and Sandy, each ballpark requires tailored game plans and sharp execution. Teams must be versatile—able to play fast on turf, smart on slower grass surfaces, and opportunistic with backstops that range from tight to expansive. Whether facing power-hitting threats or relying on small-ball tactics, coaches and players must adapt quickly to succeed across this varied landscape.

Strategy: Balance the Pace
- Slightly deeper CF demands smart gap coverage and fast communication.
- Grass outfield slows balls down—play deep enough to keep singles from becoming doubles.
- Clean turf infield favors teams that execute small ball well.
- Infielders must adjust to turf speed while outfielders prepare for dead bounces.
Offensive Game Plan
- Bunt game thrives—predictable hops.
- Encourage hitters to elevate—corners are short and tempting.
- Capitalize on aggressive secondary leads on dirt balls.
