🌧️ Rain & Lightning Guidelines

Rain:

  • Always check field status before practice or games.

  • Fields may close due to rain within 24 hours, even if it’s sunny at the moment.

  • Field conditions can change mid-day; a field may open in the morning and close later.

Lightning:

  • Practice: Coaches and Chaperones are responsible for suspending practice if lightning is observed.

  • Game Day: The Referee is responsible for game-day lightning decisions.

  • When in doubt — err on the side of caution.

⚡ Refer to the “Environmental Hazards” section in the Guidance for Referees & Coaches manual for lightning safety protocols.


🔁 Practice Cancellations

Coaches:
If your field is open but you choose to cancel practice, please notify the Region Scheduler. This allows us to:

  • Reassign the field to another team

  • Update the City, so staff are deployed effectively
