Thunder & Lightning Policy
If you see lightning, the game/practice needs to be suspended.
If you hear thunder the game/practice needs to be suspended.
Each suspension is for 30 minutes after the last sight of lightning or sound of thunder. Below is an excerpt from the ASA rule Book. We follow guidelines established by both ASA softball and the PIAA for both junior high and high school sports.
If activity has been suspended due to lightning or thunder, the designated weather watcher should wait at least 30 minutes after the last lightning flash or sound of thunder prior to resuming activity. Each time additional lightning is observed or thunder is heard, the minimum 30-minute waiting period should be reset.
A clear sky or lack of rainfall are not adequate indicators for resuming play. The minimum 30-minute return-to-play waiting period should not be shortened. Play should not be resumed even after the 30-minute waiting period if any signs of thunderstorm activity remain in the area or if the weather forecast indicates the threat is not over.
Point of Emphasis - When it comes to player safety the HEAD COACH needs to make sure the inclement weather guideline is ALWAYS followed. Your opposing coaches and umpires are required to follow the same procedures.
