Inclement Weather Policy

We will let you know at least 1 hour in advance if pods are cancelled because of weather or field conditions (can you believe we’re planning for snow already?!) Make sure you opt in to email communications on your Sports Engine account.

No news = good news = your pod is on!

If there are rain/thunderstorms in the forecast, we’re going to make a go/no-go programming decision 60 minutes before our scheduled start time (which allows our coaches the time to commute/set-up before practice starts). 

We’re always ready to play in the rain, but if there is a > 65% chance of thunderstorms in the forecast, we’re going to cancel the program for the day. And in the event that we cancel a program, we’ll reschedule that for the rain make-up week (the week of Nov. 8).

If there is < 65% of thunderstorms -- but if thunderstorms are still in the forecast -- we are going to try and run programs. We’ll deploy our coaches to the field and -- if we play or not -- pay them for that days work. BUT -- because there’s no indoor shelter nearby -- we need parents to be in their cars and close to the field in the case the kids need to seek shelter. If you can’t be there to wait in your car on days when thunderstorms are in the forecast, please pre-plan with another parent who can take your kid into their car in the event of a storm. I just can’t (and won’t) have kids getting in cars with coaches.
