Weather Policy

Weather Policy

Weather in our area is notoriously fickle. It can be bright and sunny at home, and storming at the field, or vice versa. And it can be pouring 20 minutes before practice, and clear in time.

Such is life in Florida.

That said, we will not play soccer in lightening conditions. We may delay or cancel play. We may also cancel or delay play for extreme wind or storm conditions. We will likely play in light rain.

If inclement weather is expected, the best source of information is your team coach. They should have contact information and will have made team arrangements for how information will be distributed. It is very rare for all practices or an entire Saturday game schedule to require cancellation. We do not routinely post general information to the entire league except in very extreme conditions (such as a tropical storm).

So, how do I get to see my kid's team??

To view the pages for a particular team, you need a login ID, AND your login ID has to be associated with a member of that team. This is not quite the same as you joining the team.
**Change** Team homepages are available to everyone (including grandparents, friends, and neighbors...) upcoming events will be visible as soon as the schedules are loaded.

A team is made up of players, and each one can be associated with a login ID. The login ID is also associated with a person, who may or may not actually be part of a team.

If you only have one child, you can use either your name or your child's name for your login identification. In fact, if you use the same email address we have from your child's registration when you create your site login, you should automatically have that player associated with the login, and be able to see that team page.

If you have more than one child, things are a little more complicated (but if you have more than one child, you already knew that...). The simplest way to link a login with a player is from a player join invitation email. When you respond to such an email, and use the login you have already created (don't create a new one), the player is linked with your account. So how do you get an invite? Send an email from the contact us link with your child's name and team. If you request to join a team, we will try to match the email to a member of the team and send a player invite.

Still having problems? Send us an email and we'll straighten it out.
