HOBOKEN LITTLE LEAGUE

INCLEMENT WEATHER/CANCELLATION:

The weather can be variable and we are ALWAYS monitoring it closely. We have a cancellation/communication system in place accordingly. 

First: "NO NEWS" means that the practice/games are still "ON" - please SIT TIGHT and DO NOT reach out to the league about it - we will let everyone and/or the managers know the plans as needed. 

Secondly, the turf drains quickly and efficiently - therefore, we DO NOT automatically cancel an event after a storm or when there is light "drizzle" - it is always on a "TBD basis" and the administration will make "the call."

Third: In the case of inclement weather, we DO NOT typically make "the call" until mid-late afternoon (especially for games), unless it is a massive storm or circumstances that we can easily predict in advance and then we *may* cancel earlier in the morning hours. The main takeaway is that we often "wait it out" before making a cancellation. 

Lastly: In circumstances when a cancellation is team dependent, we will only inform the manager(s) AND/OR specific team(s) impacted about the plans (e.g., the 8:30 am Saturday game may get canceled due to rain BUT the 10:15 AM game remains "ON" after the weather clears up, etc). 

*Cancellation Process:

1) The administration informs the team managers  2) Team Managers will inform their families about the cancelation 

AND/OR

3) If a cancelation impacts the entire league/division, the administration may send a league-wide note to everyone (TBD); in that case, managers should always follow up with their teams to make sure everyone received the message/plan. 

*Notification: 

Depending on the timing of a cancellation, the schedule on TS/website may NOT always immediately reflect the change - therefore, you should always keep a lookout for updates/notes from the league and/or your team managers in the case of inclement weather and follow along that way. 

When in doubt, please contact your team manager with questions or to learn the latest update. 

*Other Cancellations: 

Occasionally, the team manager may have to cancel a practice due to low attendance or other unforeseen conflicts. In that case, the team manager should 1) notify the league about the cancellation AND 2) inform their families about the plan.
