weather guidelines

Please note that soccer is a game played worldwide. It is a Winter Sport in many countries. We don’t ask that of our players. However, it is played in rain, wet, and cooler temperatures in addition to dry, warm sunny days. Encourage your team to dress appropriately for the weather. Soft hats, gloves, sweat pants are all certainly acceptable to wear while playing, as long as there is nothing hard in this clothing which might injure the player or an opponent. Our guidelines are if the temp is 40 degrees or below we may cancel games that day and reschedule the entire days’ games. We will not play in lightning, and consider everyone’s safety first. (Teams must wait 20 minutes after the last lightning strike to take the field). We have a lightning meter at the concession stand, and the ability to watch the weather radar, so we can monitor the situation.
