Fall and Winter season is right around the corner, so we want to remind everyone about the league’s rain-out policy. The following rules apply to all grass fields except for the Santa Clara Youth Soccer Park . Practices at Soccer Park are only allowed on the all-weather turf field, so it is the coaches’ discretion if they want to hold practices in the rain. If there is thunder and lightning present, then practices must immediately stop.
