Weather

• Lightning Safety Policy: The official policy of WYS and EYSA is based on the NOAA recommendations for safety found here: http://www.lightningsafety.noaa.gov/sports.shtml. If lightning is sighted and/or thunder heard, practices and games should be paused and all players vacated to a safe shelter. No play should be resumed until both thunder and lightning have passed and been gone for at least 30 minutes.
