WEATHER CANCELLATION PROCEDURES

Inclement Weather Policies:

Please note that there are many factors that go in to making a decision to cancel games if the weather is threatening:

  • Field conditions
  • Parking conditions
  • How all of our players could be impacted, from the 5:30pm games through the 7:00pm games

The Park District often times ask us to make a decision by early afternoon. We realize that not everyone will agree with the decision made, but we do ask that you respect the decision.  If games are to be cancelled, RYSL parents can find out in the following ways:

  • Our website www.raptoryouthsoccer.com
  • Our Facebook page
  • Please DO NOT call or email us about cancellations. We will post IF we need to cancel.

We will schedule make up games within the season for games missed due to weather cancellation. Parents will be given notice as to when the make up games will occur. 

Coaches decide if their trainings are canceled due to inclement weather, and notify their own teams.
