Inclement weather policy: RYSA always takes the safety and health of players first. It is our attempt to give guidelines to parents, coaches, and referees as to when and if games need to be canceled or suspended. All coaches are given a phone # to call to get field information. That phone number should ONLY be used by coaches. Parents should use this website to view field information. As always if you as a parent feel that its is unsafe for your child to play, you have the right to pull your player for safety concerns. However; if RYSA has not canceled or suspended games teams failing to show up are considered to have forfeited a game and are subject to a $25 fine payable before the next game.
Rain out policy: Fields can be closed at the discretion of the Parks and Recreation department of the city of Rowlett if they feel they are to wet, otherwise we play in rain. If lightning is within 5 miles, the game(s) should be suspended and shelter sought. RYSA owns a lightning detector which can identify the distance accurately but may not be available. A rough guideline is to measure the time between the lightning flash and hearing the corresponding thunder. If it is 30 seconds or less, seek shelter. It may not be possible to determine which lightning strike generated which roll of thunder clear the field.
Cold weather policy: RYSA will cancel or postpone any game in which the ambient temperature is 35 degrees or lower. In the event of cold weather higher than 35 degrees players are allowed to wear additional clothing under the uniform. Examples of acceptable additional clothing are: Long sleeves, long pants, extra socks, gloves or mittens, stocking caps (without straps) jackets, headbands (to cover ears). Unacceptable additional clothing items are: Hooded sweatshirts, ear muffs (with plastic or metal pieces) scarves.
Hot weather policy: At any game in which the ambient temperature is
over 90 degrees, or at the request of both coaches mandatory 2 minute water
breaks will be given during each half of play.
