1) If there is bad weather and a coach or team administrator does not email you, or call you…assume practice is on. Remember we are all volunteers and often are leaving straight from work to the fields.

2) Sometimes, practice start times will be delayed due to weather. If it is storming and a delay is called, we will wait until 6:30 to see if bad weather clears before sending kids home. If you are on your way to practice and it begins to storm, we recommend that you still go to the field. There is a chance the storm has already passed through that area.

3) When in doubt use common sense, lightening and monsoon type rains will usually cancel practice.

4) If lightening occurs after practice starts, leave field immediately, practice is delayed until 15 minutes after last lightening strike or cancellation by the head coach. DO NOT assume practice is over if the coaches send kids to the car for cover.
