Weather Policy

Play must be stopped immediately if lightning is detected within 10 miles or if thunder is heard. A 30-minute waiting period is required after the last detected lightning strike or thunder before resuming play.

Games may have mandatory water breaks, shortened halves, or be rescheduled based on temperature and heat index.

• Heat Index 90-99°F: Mandatory water breaks every 20 minutes; reduced game length may be considered.

• Heat Index 100-104°F: Additional water breaks required; game length may be further shortened.

• Heat Index 105°F and above: Games and practices should be postponed or canceled for player safety.

Matches may be postponed or adjusted if temperatures drop below a safe level (often below freezing with wind chill considerations).

Play will be suspended or canceled in the event of a severe weather warning in the area.
