How is everyone notified of weather cancellations?
First off, if you do not hear from us, THE PRACTICE/GAME is on as scheduled!
All participants are notified of weather cancellations automatically through email. If field conditions or impending weather will prevent play, Town staff sends out the cancellation email to all parents and coaches simultaneously. This avoids the need for coaches or parents to call each other or wonder whether or not the game/practice will take place. The following will generally hold true when the fields are deemed unplayable or the probability of poor weather is high:
- If weekday practices/games are cancelled you will receive an email from us by 4:15pm.
- If weekend practices/games are cancelled you will receive an email from us by 9am.
If practices/games are cancelled, and field availability allows, we will provide opportunities for teams to reschedule. Staff will reschedule games and parents will automatically be notified via email of the new date/time for the make-up game/practice. This is all done through our online registration system. You team season schedule will automatically update as well.
