games are able to be played even if it is raining.
- Only the GTYSC President can cancel games in
advance if field conditions are too poor.
- Players should expect to go to the field for every
game and be advised by the referee if the game will be played. The referee will
determine at kick-off if the game can be started, delayed or cancelled.
- Thunder or lightning issues will be assessed by referees. In most cases, games are
delayed for 20 to 30 minutes to wait it out before a decision is made to play or cancel a
game.
- Weather can vary in the Niagara Region. It is possible that games in Grimsby are a go,
but there are cancellations in Lincoln, West Lincoln or Pelham. The Club will
communicate cancellations as they are received.
- If you are on a field with no referee, follow the directions from the referees at the fields
surrounding you.
Ticks
- Please be mindful to check for ticks while attending the fields. The Town of Grimsby
maintains the fields, but ticks can be prevalent. Check yourself
and your players after each game, use spray, where possible
avoid long grass and be tick aware.
