We will not start or continue any activity when a thunderstorm or tornado warning has been issued for the area surrounding our fields.
We will not start any activity if we see lightning or hear thunder.
If we have seen lightning or heard thunder, we will not start or re-start any activity until 30 minutes after we see the last lightning strike or hear the last clap of thunder.
The best place to be when lightning is in the area is in your car. Do not stay under trees or shelters if lightning is in the area - this will NOT protect you from lightning strikes.
Parents, players,and spectators can inform coaches, field marshals, and referees about any signs of lightning or news about severe weather warnings. Field marshals, referees, and/or league coordinator will decide when practices/games should be suspended due to severe weather and communicate the decision appropriately.
Extreme Temperature Guidelines
We recommend that our teams do not start or continue any activity when the temperature and/or heat index/wind chill is above 105 degrees F or below 32 degrees F.
If the temperature is above 90 degrees F, we will stop for water breaks every 15 minutes during games and practices.
To Protect our Fields
We will not start any activity on our fields when it is raining hard.
We will not start or re-start any activity when the fields are very wet and deemed unsafe for play by JCPRD staff.
The league coordinator and/or field marshal will decide when the fields are playable and will communicate this decision via the league rain-out line: 913-686-6030 for JCPRD and 913-578-5319 for Stump Park.
