RAIN POLICY?
We do practice in light to medium rain. Games will continue to be played in those conditions as well.
If it's hard rain, heavy thunder, or lightning we will cancel. We try to make that decision about 30 minutes prior to practice to make the most accurate judgement, as weather here changes very quickly.
