Please Note:  It is the decision of the official to call the game at the field due to weather.  If the official is younger, please do your best to gather the other coaches and managers to help the official make a decision following the policies below.​

View MYSA Weather Policy

• If lightning is within 5 miles, with or without hearing thunder, the game(s) or practice(s) should be suspended and shelter sought.
• A rough guideline is to measure the time between the lightning flash and hearing the thunder.  If it is 30 seconds or less, seek shelter. 
• A simple rule: If you can see it or hear it, clear it!  MYSA recommends seeking immediate shelter in cars or in a designated severe weather shelter. 
• Avoid contact with metal or other conducting materials to the outside surfaces. 
• Do not stay in open, unprotected areas. 
• Games should not be started for at least 30 minutes after the last lightning strike is seen or roll of thunder is heard.
