What is the inclement weather policy?

LMYSA will communicate field closures via email, social media, and an opt-in text alert system.

Coaches will communicate directly with their team to cancel practices due to inclement weather (storms, heavy rain, excessive cold/heat).

In the event of lightening or thunder during practices, fields will clear and practices will not resume for a minimum of 30 minutes after the last sight of lightening or sound of thunder.

Games are cancelled by the organization or referees and coaches will communicate any cancelled games directly to the team. This does not always happen in advance of the games, as weather is unpredictable.

Fall Season: Registration will open at the end of the Spring Season, in May and end mid-July. The season begins practices in August with games starting a few weeks after.
