When do I rainout a game?

Softball/Kickball 


Grass/Dirt Fields: 


Decisions on game play-ability are largely made by the water in the ground, and not the water in the air. 


A few things to keep an eye out for:


1) Puddles forming

2) The infield dirt changing to mud

3) Players slipping on the infield dirt


If these things start happening, contact your league director so they can begin contacting teams that are playing games over the course of the rest of the day. You may be asked to stick around for the next game time to catch teams that are already on their way when a decision is made. 


In some cases for kickball, a game may be moved to the outfield grass. Your league director will let you know if this is an option. 


We cancel games based on what the field conditions are, not what the forecast says they may be. Weather in the Pacific Northwest is constantly changing. We'd rather try to get your game in and have it rain than cancel your game when it was possible it could have been played.


Turf Fields:


If you are scheduled for a game on field turf, your game will be played rain or shine. 



Flag Football


Flag football fields are played on turf, and are thus played rain or shine. 



Beach Volleyball


Beach volleyball games are played except in extreme decisions. 


So, games are typically played when it is raining or windy. 


We cancel games based on what the beach conditions are, not what the forecast says they may be. Weather in the Pacific Northwest is constantly changing. We'd rather try to get games in and have it rain than cancel your game when it was possible it could have been played.
