THUNDER OR LIGHTNING
This rule is for all leagues and all divisions
and is not optional
Games will be stopped immediately if lightning is seen or thunder is heard from the field. In the event the game is being played at a complex of multiple fields, any game being cancelled because of dangerous weather conditions shall be considered grounds to stop all games. You must wait 30 minutes before allowing play to resume. If there is another clap of thunder or lightning is seen again, the clock is restarted. If it happens a third time, the game or games are cancelled and everyone must leave the field.
Should the National Weather Service issue a Severe Thunderstorm Warning or Tornado Warning for our area, all games in progress shall be stopped and all scheduled games during the duration of the warning shall be postponed.
This is about the safety of our children. It's not up for discussion.
