DISCLAIMER: While the Club can take decisions in its recreational levels (house league) regarding the cancellation of play, the policy is not a substitute for the responsibility of parents and individual members to take any decision they see fit regarding their own or their child's safety in any Club related activity. If you feel conditions aren't safe for you or your child, for whatever reason, the Club supports your decision not to participate in a Club related activity.
The North Dundas United Soccer Club (NDUSC) follows the Canadian Soccer Association’s
Lightning Safety and Severe Weather Policy
In the event of severe weather games or practices, decisions to cancel the session shall be made at the field by the referee or, in the case where there is no referee present, by the coach in-charge or Board member.
The Township of North Dundas may close sports fields if recent weather conditions render fields unplayable or susceptible to damage. In this case NDUSC will cancel all games and practices until Township fields re-open.
Notice of cancellations will be posted on the Club's website and Facebook page. In addition, members will be advised of closures by email.
Participating in any physical activity in extreme heat can be deadly and participants should take precautions when playing in a game during a heat warning.
NDUSC strongly encourages all teams to take water breaks during games when the temperature is above 25 degrees Celsius. Coaches and parents should keep an eye on those around them for the warning signs of heat illness and if they suspect someone has suffered a heat illness, seek the appropriate medical attention for them.
When the temperature is above 32 degrees Celsius, NDUSC will consider the cancelation of games. There will be an increased chance of cancellation if the temperature is significantly higher when the humidex is factored in.
Any decisions on cancelling games will be made by 5pm and may not be a blanket cancellation due to the size of our region.
