SNOW and OTHER BAD WEATHER RELATED FIELD
CONDITIONS

LSA as a general rule does not cancel games until the actual time of the game and than only at the discretion of the head game official.

There is no reason to contact your coach or club officials prior to
going to the site.

Snow should, almost, never be a reason for canceling a game. Snow
can be cleared from the lines by using a broom or by shoveling to within an inch or so and then sweeping the lines.  Again, the final decision regarding cancellation of games shall rest with the head game official at the field just prior to the game. 

In the event of standing water the decision shall rest with the game official.  LSA will not cancel regularly scheduled league games prior to arriving at the field.

In the event of lightening or high winds it is club policy to get the players off of the field immediately after seeing the first signs of lightening or damaging winds.  You should never bring the players back to the field until 30 minutes after the last lightening strike or until instructed to do so by the referee.

In the event in question is a practice or scrimmage game please do exercise restraint in tearing up fields during bad weather, but regularly scheduled league games should be played.
