Weather conditions often result in adjustments to the practice and game schedule.  In all cases, the considerations are player and spectator safety, safe transport, field conditions and long-term field health.  Decisions on game postponement, cancellations and terminations (after game has started) will be made collaboratively by the Athletic Director, coaches and game officials.

Rain
Practices and games may be postponed, cancelled or halted in the event of excessive amounts of rain.

Snow
Late opening – All practices and games as scheduled (pending opponents situation).

Early dismissal – All practices cancelled and games postponed.

School cancellation – All practices cancelled and games postponed.

Heat
Practices and games may be postponed, cancelled or halted in the event of excessive heat.

Lightning
The Athletic Director, the official in charge or the Headmaster shall suspend an athletic contest in progress immediately, when the first sound of thunder is heard and/or the first sighting of lightning is observed.  Under no circumstances should a contest be resumed until at least 20 minutes have passed since thunder was heard or lightning observed.  To be clear, the clock timing the 20 minute waiting period is reset each time thunder is heard and/or lightning is observed, regardless of the perceived location of the storm.

If the contest should be resumed, the official, Athletic Director and head coach of each team must agree to continue play.
