Game Cancelation Policies

Soccer games can play in the rain. Only lightning and thunder should stop a game. 
If lightning or thunder occur during the game, wait 15 minutes to see if it stops so that the game can continue. The referee is responsible for calling the game off. (They may consult with you).

If a home game needs to be cancelled (due to lightning or heat):
1) Connect with other teams coach - hopefully you can find their contact on their club's website. 
2) Find a date to reschedule. (Fields need to be available and referees need to be booked)
3) Message the Coach Coordinator to let them know - Alycia Nafziger [email protected]
4) MOST IMPORTANT - Email Referee Coordinator - Brennan Kuepfer [email protected]. We don't want our refs standing out in the rain waiting for teams to show up.
