We post CLOSINGS only. Assume the field is open unless you see that it is closed!

 

Please remember - fields are open unless specifically closed.

We will play in light rain unless there is a danger posed to the players or the fields become unplayable.

We try to make decisions and post closures by 4:30pm M-F and 8:00am on Saturdays - so if the weather looks questionable, check back at those times.   Conditions may change throughout the day so check again prior to leaving for the field.

Inclement Weather Policy

WE MAKE EVERY EFFORT TO HOLD EVERY PRACTICE AND EVERY GAME AS SCHEDULED.  
Soccer is an outdoor sport and we do occasionally play in light rain or cold weather. Please be sure to dress your child appropriately. Layering clothing under the uniform is acceptable, but please no metal fasteners or drawstrings for the children’s’ safety.

THUNDER AND LIGHTNING:
After reviewing information from the National Lightning Safety Institute, NCYSA has adopted new protocol for lightning safety which will go into effect immediately (October 15, 2014). No more counting to determine whether to halt play. The new protocol goes like this. If you see lightning, clear the field. If you hear thunder, clear the field. Play will be halted for a minimum of 30 minutes. If no lightning is spotted during the 30 minutes and/or no thunder is heard during the 30 minutes, play will resume. If lightning is seen and/or thunder is heard during the 30 minute period, the clock starts over. No play will resume until a minimum of 30 minutes passes with no thunder and/or no lightning.

Field Closures are posted by 4:30pm on weeknights and 8:00am on weekends

Please note sometimes there may be a slight delay in posting closures and cancellations. We try very hard not to cancel practices or games and sometimes wait until the very last minute before closing fields. To avoid confusion, we typically post only CLOSINGS. If no information is posted, assume that practices and games will be held as scheduled.

Please note that CSA does not control the fields used for MARS U14-U18 Games. Please check the MARS website for GAME cancellations: www.marsoccer.org
