WEATHER GUIDELINES
All scheduled games will be played rain or shine, unless lightning is spotted in the game area. All players are directed to show up to all scheduled games, even if the weather looks daunting. The decision to play or not play a game will be made at the field by the Referee.
If the City of Edina closes fields in the event of over-saturated conditions, the Club will notify Coaches and Managers by 3 pm in the afternoon. A notice will also be posted on the website home page if timing and access allow. If you have not heard from your coach or manager, please plan on showing up to play. NOTE: fields may be closed on a field by field basis. i.e. Creek Valley fields may be closed for the day, but Lewis fields may be playable. Don't assume that all fields are closed unless you hear that is the case.
