• Snow/Rain: If there is snow and/or rain that is dangerous in which to play or would put the players in a vulnerable position to get sick, we will most likely cancel trainings or games.  If there is a light rain that occurs, we may continue if a coach feels that it does not put the children in a position to get sick or does not hamper training at all.  

​

• Cold Weather:

  • TEAMS WITH PLAYERS 10+ YEARS OLD: If the weather is 32 degrees or above at the start of training/games (not necessarily all of training/games), then training is on. If it is 31 degrees or less at the beginning of training, then training will be cancelled. 

  • TEAMS WITH PLAYERS 6-9 YEARS OLD: If the weather is 40 degrees or above at the start of training/games (not necessarily all of training/games), then training is on. If it is 39 degrees or less at the beginning of training, then training will be cancelled. 

  • TEAMS WITH PLAYERS 4-5 YEARS OLD: If the weather is 45 degrees or above at the start of training/games (not necessarily all of training/games), then training is on. If it is 44 degrees or less at the beginning of training, then training will be cancelled. 

  • NOTE:  We also take into consideration what the weather “Feels Like….” according to THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE which includes windchill. Though not our ultimate determinator over whether or not training goes forward, we take this into consideration as the children’s health and safety is our number one concern.  

  • PLEASE MAKE SURE YOUR CHILD IS DRESSED APPROPRIATELY WITH WARM CLOTHING UNDERNEATH HIS/HER UNIFORM WITH HATS AND GLOVES.  Victory is not responsible for the warmth and comfort of your child during training and games as we expect parents to dress them appropriately.

​

• Lightning: If there is a lightning strike 10 miles or closer, then training/games will be delayed for 30 minutes until there has not been a strike. After the 2nd significant delay, training/games will most likely be cancelled, and parents will be responsible to come pick up their children as soon as possible.  Children will be kept under a safe shelter until it is safe to resume training/game or go home with parents. For more information on lightning and youth sports safety, please see the following website….. LIGHTNING

​

• Bad Field Conditions: Though not common, trainings or games can be cancelled due to bad and unsafe field conditions, such as when there is still unmelted snow on the field and/or too much mud.
