INCLEMENT WEATHER POLICY - The safety of our players is our top priority. For this reason, the Bloomington-Normal Warriors lacrosse club will not host or participate in events when the temperature (including wind chill) is below 30oF . Based on information from the National Weather Service, a determination will be made each day by 2pm. If the temperature is projected to be below our designated threshold, all facilities will be close and parents, players, and coaches will be notified*.
*We encourage all club members to allow text notifications to their phones (free, but carrier charges may apply), so they can received timely updates on these changes.
Above this temperature, practices will be held at the head coach’s discretion. If practices are held in cold conditions, please make sure to dress appropriately and bring water in an insulated bottle (the body still needs hydration in cold weather).
Lightning - If lightning is seen or thunder is heard, then preparing for evacuation should occur. Once lightning is detected and felt to be within 6 miles, all individuals should already be in safe structures and practice should be suspended for 30 minutes. This requires awareness of the weather conditions as well as understanding how long it will take for participants and spectators to get to the safe structures. Coaches have the discretion to cancel practice, they will not leave players unattended until all players are with parents.
