Rain Out Information / Inclement Weather

In the event that the Athletics Office has to cancel any of the scheduled league games due to bad weather or poor playing conditions caused by inclement weather, the staff will update the Rain Out Number to alert the public of the games that will be cancelled for that evening. It is the coach's responsibility to call 942-8721 and share the updated league information with his or her teammates.
The recorder will be updated no later than 4:00 pm of that particular game day. Every effort will be made to conduct these games. This decision is not solely judged by the amount of rain alone, it has more to do about the safety conditions of the fields. Please do not assume that if it is raining in your area of town, that it was enough to rain out our games at the ballfields. Also, it may have rained more on our ballfields than it did in your area of town. Games will also be cancelled when a lightning storm becomes an issue. So always make sure to check the rain out number after 4:00 pm if you are not sure of the status of your game for that evening.

If games are suspended due to lightning you are to go immediately to 1) your car or 2) take shelter inside a building. DO NOT remain in dugouts, on playing fields, under trees or picnic shelters or remain in any unsafe area. Games may resume once lightning threat has diminished.

The situation may come up that when we make the call of conducting our leagues and the weather conditions worsen between 4:00 pm and the first scheduled game time, the decision to play the games lies solely on the supervisor scheduled to work that evening. In the event that a decision is made that the playing conditions are not safe at game time and decide to cancel games, we will update the rain out number to alert the coaches and players of the cancellation.

The recorder will only be updated when necessary. Call 942-8721 after 4:00 pm to get the rain out information for that evening.
