CYSL EXTREME WEATHER GUIDELINES
In all weather situations, it is the primary responsibility of parents and coaches to consider the safety of our players. If parents or coaches have any concerns about safety given weather conditions such as heat/humidity, lightning, or cold, the activity should be delayed or rescheduled until conditions are considered safe. Referees may not force a team to start or continue play in such conditions, but any decision by a referee that play should be suspended due to weather shall be accepted by the coaches.
Lightning
Per the recommendation of U.S. Youth Soccer “Lightning Safety Outdoors,” when lighting is seen or thunder is heard, regardless of rain, play or practice should stop and all participants and spectators should move indoors or into cars as soon as possible. Play or practice may resume 30 minutes after the last thunder or lightning.
