Hainesport Soccer Club makes every attempt to maximize playing time
during the program however, despite many attempts we do not control
the weather. As a policy, each session will start and end on time
irrespective of the weather excluding conditions which bring imminent
risk to the participants, spectators, and/or coaches (e.g. lightning) or if
the weather is likely to damage the fields or create unsafe playing
conditions (e.g. standing pools of water).
Accordingly, sessions will ONLY be cancelled if there is an
immediate threat or possible harm due to hazardous weather
(such as lightning) and/or if the Hainesport Parks and Recreation
Department determines the fields are too wet for safe play.
In either case, your coach or team "call-list" coordinator will attempt to
contact each parent at the earliest possibility. Once a cancellation is
determined and the phone tree initiated, there is no reverse or partial
reinstatements. If we have to cancel one time slot all get cancelled. If a
cancellation occurs, we will likely will not have a make up due to field
scheduling constraints - but if it is possible we will communicate that to
you as quickly as it can be determined.
If you do not receive a timely call or email announcing program
cancellations, please verify your online contact details provided during
registration as your email may have changed or be blocking our attempts
to contact you. See below for additional information on the procedures
for communicating a cancellation (e.g. emails, website, hotline).
As a final note, as a parent of a child in the program, HSC expects and
relies on you, the parent/guardian to decide what is appropriate weather
for play versus inappropriate weather for play. If you don't like standing
in the rain - don't show up. On the other hand, if your child enjoys
playing in the rain and you don't mind it either - we'll see you on the
fields!
