Inclement Weather Policy

With the threat of lightning throughout the summer, please be aware of our policy:

If lightning is detected, than all players, referees and spectators are to leave the fields and sit in their cars or a building.
Notice will be issued either by one long horn blast or referee or HRSC staff announcements.
There will be a minimum of a 20 minute delay from the last detected lightning occurrence before players will be allowed to take the field again.
The “all clear” will be announced by two short blasts.
Three long fog horn blasts – then the Complex is closed due to continual threatening weather conditions or unplayable fields.
