Severe Weather Guidelines
Most of our practice facilities do not have shelter facilities from severe weather or lightning. The chance of that weather moving in during practice will often play a part in a coach's decision to cancel practice beforehand... and often the call is made to cancel and the weather doesn't materialize. If weather does move in during a practice, coaches will make sure the kids are safe... moving them off of the fields, sending them to cars, under cover, etc. until the weather passes or a determination to suspend practice is made.
