Weather Policy

Our top priority is the safety of our players, families, coaches, and referees. Please review the guidelines below regarding weather-related field and game decisions.

Weather Monitoring

All decisions are made with player safety as the top priority. Club leadership actively monitors radar for:

Rain
Thunder and lightning
Severe storm systems

Time Frame & Communication

A decision on field status will be made by 4:00 PM on practice days when possible.
Families and coaches will be notified of any field closures via email, social media, and app push notification communication.
In rapidly changing conditions, updates may occur closer to start time or on-site.

Practice & Game Cancellations

Safety and field conditions always guide final decisions. Practices and games may be:

Cancelled prior to start time.
Delayed or stopped once on-site due to changing weather.
Cancelled due to unsafe field conditions (heavy rain, standing water, or damage from prior weather).

If Severe Weather Occurs During Play

An air horn will sound to alert all participants at Adams.
All players and spectators must immediately evacuate the fields.
Seek shelter in vehicles only (NOT the shelter area).
Parents are encouraged to remain on-site if severe weather is approaching so players have access to a vehicle.

Thunder & Lightning Policy

Thunder is treated the same as lightning.
Play will stop immediately if we see radar-indicated lighting within 10 miles of the fields, thunder is heard, or lightning is seen.
All participants must return to their vehicles.

30-Minute Rule

Activities may resume only after 30 minutes have passed since the last thunder or lightning.
The 30-minute clock resets with each new occurrence.
Lightning must be at least 10 miles away before play resumes.
