Yes, we play in the rain.....
Depending on the severity of the rain, the U4,U6 & U8 divisions may cancel.
There is a lightning policy in place. We follow Canada Soccer's policy which can be found at Lightning_Policy_E.pdf (sportngin.com)
Coaches may decide to end practice or wait out the storm. In the case of games, it is the referee who makes the final decision whether to wait or stop the game. The game may or may not be rescheduled depending on a variety of factors. Your coach will advise you if a game is rescheduled.
