Weather

Outdoors:

Soccer training sessions or league games may be canceled in advance of a session due to weather/field conditions:

• Fields may be closed by the City of Edina, generally by 3pm weekdays.
• ESC Staff may close fields to play due to field conditions if needed to protect the important assets that are our grass fields.
• If there is obvious severe weather arriving during training sessions or games, ESC may cancel individual sessions and direct coaches/managers

If a session is to be canceled, it will be communicated by 3 pm that day, either directly from ESC staff to families, or through the coach and team manager.

Outdoor soccer training sessions or league games may be canceled during a session due to weather conditions:

• Visible lightning strikes will produce a 30-minute delay (managed by the referee during a game, or coach during a practice), during which people should seek shelter, generally in cars.
• Otherwise unsafe playing conditions may cause a session to end early; please be alert to your player’s team communication app during inclement weather.
