Here are the general weather guidelines for Orono Youth Football and the LMAA
- Games
- Many districts now have artificial turf fields. These fields manage rain very well.
- Game cancellation will be posted by 4:30pm for weeknight games and 7:00am for Saturday.
- Cancellations are field and time specific. A game cancelled at Orono Intermediate may not mean a cancellation at Orono Stadium. A 6:30 cancellation may not mean the 8:00 game is cancelled.
- The host area director has authority on cancellation.
- Play is automatically stopped for lightning until 20 minutes after the last sighting. Players are to leave the field area in the event of lightning.
- Practice
- Teams can/will practice in rain. Auto stop for lightning always applies.
- Orono many cancel practice due to field conditions. A general notice would go out for this situation.
- For any other conditions, decisions are determined by the team head coach and communicated by the coach.
