PDSA Official Rules

The following weather and field conditions will be guidelines for determining match suspensions.

If any of these conditions are met or anticipated to be met prior to match play, coaches will be notified no later than one hour before the scheduled match start time.

Suppose any of these conditions are met during match play, with at least 50% of the match being completed. In that case, the match will be suspended entirely and not be rescheduled unless otherwise agreed upon by both Coaches and the division Commissioner.

Suppose any of these conditions are met during match play, with less than 50% completed. In that case, the match will be suspended and rescheduled unless otherwise agreed upon by both Coaches and the division Commissioner. When the suspended match is rescheduled, the game will resume at the point it was suspended.

Temperature: “Feels Like” Temperature: less than 32°F or greater than 95°F 

Field Conditions: Standing water or snow or otherwise deemed not suitable by the PDSA Board

Lightning: Regardless of whether it's a practice session or an actual game, should lightning occur within a 10-mile radius of the playing area, we must postpone the activity. The Brown Road Soccer Complex is equipped with a lightning detection system. Look for a pole that flashes when there's a lightning alert. Upon this signal, players, spectators, coaches, and referees must find a safe place to shelter for 30 minutes. Please note the 30-minute waiting period restarts with each subsequent lightning strike.

Wind: Wind: Sustained 35 mph or gusts more than 50 mph

We will share updates about game cancellations via Facebook and distribute messages to coaches to share with teams
