WEATHER POLICY

Severe weather can produce all types of scenarios ranging from extreme heat and high winds to heavy rain, lightning, thunder and/or tornadoes. If severe weather approaches the playing area, the safety of the players and fans is the number one priority of LCS.  Some weather conditions may require that the game be suspended while shelter is sought.

Lake Country Soccer utilizes a weather notification app to notify us of lightning in the area.  We will be notified when lightning is 20 miles away and again at 10 miles away.  In the event that the lightning is 10 miles away, we will immediately sound the air horn 1 time which will require the game to be suspended.  Everyone (players, coaches, families, fans) MUST clear the field immediately and move into their cars or other permanent shelter. When the weather notification app gives us the all clear, where no lightning has been detected in the area, we will sound the air horn 2 times.  Once this occurs, everyone can return to the field.   

We appreciate everyone adhering to this policy.
