☀️🥵🌧️⚡️WEATHER HAPPENS. SAFETY COMES FIRST.

With fall soccer underway, we want everyone to know how field closures and game cancellations are handled. Weather decisions aren’t always made as early as we’d like, and conditions can change quickly.

We work to get closure notifications out as soon as possible. Please remember that patience is key, as our executive officers volunteer their time while also working full-time jobs.

📌 A few important reminders:
• Weekday field closure decisions may not be made before 4:00 PM.
• Saturday game cancellations may not be determined until the morning of the game.
• If you haven’t received a notification that fields are closed, assume they are open.
• A WBGT of 92° or higher results in field closure.
• Lightning within 10 miles means play is suspended and fields must be evacuated.
• Play can resume only after 30 minutes have passed since the last lightning detection.

If weather cancels a game, we’ll make every effort to reschedule it when possible—but field availability, schedules, and other factors can affect that process.

⚠️ Please take a moment to read the full policy in the graphic below. Knowing the policy ahead of time helps everyone know what to expect when Mother Nature decides to join us on game day.

Thank you for your patience, flexibility, and most importantly, helping us keep our players, coaches, referees, and families safe!

💚 Please Keep One of Our Own in Your Prayers 💚

Many of you know Nathan as one of our executive officers and coaches, but what you may not see are the countless hours he gives behind the scenes to our association. From helping prepare the fields and getting everything ready each season, to coaching and jumping in wherever he’s needed, Nathan has always been someone who shows up for our soccer family.

Right now, Nathan and his family are facing an unimaginable tragedy following a devastating accident.

Nathan has poured so much of his time, energy, and heart into this community. Now, it’s our turn to show up for him.

We’re sharing their GoFundMe for anyone who would like to help. If you’re able to donate, share the fundraiser, or simply pause for a moment and pray for Nathan and his family, every bit of support matters.

Today, the unthinkable happened to Dylan and his family. Little Macie Mae got out th… Julie Wright needs your support for Support Dylan, Caitie, and Macie Mae

Thursday, August 13, 2026

Following the WBGT (Wet Bulb Globe Temperature) guidelines, we are currently under a BLACK FLAG.

⚫️ WARNING: NO OUTDOOR PRACTICE OR TRAINING MAY OCCUR AT THIS TIME.

Y’all… it’s HOT out there. 🥵⚽️

We have informed all coaches that today’s Wet Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT) is in the RED. That means any practices held today are limited to ONE HOUR MAXIMUM and MUST include at least FOUR 4-minute breaks.

WBGT measures the combined effects of temperature and humidity, and when it’s this high, heat illness becomes a serious risk.

Please help us keep our players safe:

💧 HYDRATE: Water before, during & after practice
☀️ DRESS LIGHT: Lightweight, light-colored clothing
🚩 WATCH FOR SIGNS: Headache, dizziness, nausea, cramps, fatigue or excessive sweating
🧊 TAKE BREAKS: Use shade and take frequent cooling breaks

Coaches: Please stick to the restrictions.
Parents: If your player isn’t feeling well, speak up and let the coach know.

Heat illness is serious — but it’s preventable. Let’s keep our players safe and beat the heat!
