Weather
Note:
Soccer is played in
all types of weather with the exception of lightning storms.
All teams should show up at the regular time and wait for
the referee to call the game otherwise a default could
occur. A game must be 2/3rds completed before being
considered official. Any games called before this point will
be rescheduled. Use the Flash to Bang
method to monitor lightning for evacuation of the
playing field to a safer environment. With this method the
seconds are counted from the time a flash of lightning is
seen until a clap of thunder is heard. When this number is
30 seconds or less, evacuation of the field should get under
way. Lightning awareness should begin with the first flash
of lightning seen or thunder clap heard. Large enclosed
structures (substantially constructed buildings) tend to be
much safer than smaller or open structures. If the game is
inside a stadium, encourage all players and coaches to go to
the dressing rooms. If however, such a building is not
available, fully enclosed vehicles such as cars, trucks,
buses, vans, fully enclosed farm vehicles, etc. with the
windows rolled up provide good shelter from lightning. Never
stand under trees, in an open field or under an umbrella.
The game should not be restarted until 30 minutes after the
last clasp of thunder was heard or the last flash of
lightning was seen. "If you can
see it (lightning) flee it; if you can hear it (thunder)
