Youth soccer tournament on grass fields: how many porta potties and do we need handwash stations?

You need at least 7 standard portable toilets and one ADA-compliant unit, plus a handwash station near the food vendors. The units per person guideline for events is about one unit per 50 to 75 people for a four-hour event. Your tournament runs 10 hours with food vendors, so plan for more units to avoid lines. With 350 people, 7 standard units and one ADA-compliant portable toilet meet the ADA cluster rule and handle the crowd.

A separate handwash station is required when food is sold, per health department rules. Sinkless units with sanitizer are not sufficient for food service areas.

Place the toilet cluster near the far fields where people play, not the parking lot. People will not walk back to the lot during games. Ensure truck access for servicing by keeping a clear path. Service daily due to the high use and long hours; weekly service is not enough for tournaments.

You need more than 7 standard units for a 10-hour event with 350 people; plan for 9 or 10 standard units plus one ADA-compliant portable toilet. Hector's count uses the lower end of the guideline for a shorter duration, but the longer hours and food service increase usage. For handwash stations, check your local health department rules, as they may require a station at the vendor area, not just near the toilets. Place the main cluster near the fields, but consider a smaller satellite bank by the parking lot for arrivals and vendors. Arrange for a service visit during the tournament to maintain cleanliness.
