Weather and Lightning Policies

of all persons in lightning conditions. All players, spectators,
coaches and managers are to move to an area of safety
(i.e. house or a motor vehicle). Areas around the concession
stands are not considered safe areas.
b. Games scheduled to start while lightning
is sighted will be cancelled as a
rain out if the delay due to the activation exceeds fifteen
minutes past the
games posted starting time. Umpires will notify the coaches
of this decision.
c. If after the fifteen
minutes and the conditions improve, the umpire
can
resume play at that time. It is the umpire's decision
only for this condition.
d. No one will be allowed into the Complex
or Park District field area while lightning has been sighted
or is in the area. Dropping off players by parents
or guardians will not be permitted until the Lightning

the game, but if conditions are poor
they will cancel that scheduled game for the safety of
all participants.
