Weather Policy
We will not hold a practice or game during a period where there is active thunder and lightning.
That type of weather
is a major safety concern, especially with no indoor cover available at our
outdoor playing fields. We will wait at least a half hour after such activity
to resume activities.
The Board of Directors has adopted the following bad weather
notification policy for our outdoor program:
We will make a decision, whether the session is
question will proceed, or not, no later than 45 minutes before any
session's scheduled start time.
We will contact the coaches and advise them of
our final decision to continue with a session, or not. If a session is delayed or cancelled, we will contact
families by e-mail and tell them of the delay or cancellation. Families having no email account will receive a phone call.
Weather decisions will be posted on our website's homepage and broadcast email message will be sent to parent's email accounts.
Players on our teams coming the furthest distance
will be contacted first (Buffalo, Tonawanda, Grand Island, Pembroke, etc.).
Each session will generally be handled on a case by
case basis, with any decision to continue or not made within 45 minutes of
the session's start time.
The decision to cancel an entire evening's activities will be made
based on actual weather, field conditions and official weather advisory statements.
