WET WEATHER
Training - unless it is raining heavily over the whole of S.E. Qld then training will still be on. Especially for Turf teams. Just because it is showery in your suburb does not mean it is at James Drysdale Reserve or Chermside.
But - parents - please do not leave your child at training if it looks like it might get cancelled after all.
If there has been constant rain that has made the surface of the field unplayable then Coaches and/or Managers will advise their teams as soon as possible if training is called off - or if an alternate activity is arranged.
LIGHTNING - a few weeks ago we had to call players off the field due to lightning overhead.
Safety of players and Volunteers is more important than a few moments training. Coaches and Managers have a Duty of Care to call training off if there is the slightest discomfort about the conditions.
GAMES - Clubs have to wait until Associations make a decision about whether fixtures are cancelled.
Please DO NOT call the Association Offices. As soon as our Club is notified there will be a chain of communication set in place through Coaches/Managers to all players - via email or sms, on the webpage or Facebook. Please be Patient. We understand you have to leave home an hour or more before your game but everyone tries to do their best to get the message out as quickly as possible.
HINT: No NEWS means NO Cancellation (almost certainly) so just go to the field expecting to play.
If all else fails you can call the Association Wet Weather

but be prepared to wade through a long list of messages and to pay for the privilege.
