In order to protect our playing fields, use of the fields is often restricted in the event of rain.

In the event of rain, always check www.mustangsoccer.com  first for the status of fields. DO NOT use the Town of Danville Rain Line – the ultimate authority of whether games will be played lies with the Fields Director.  Depending on conditions, field availability may be updated daily and sometimes hourly.

The general guideline is that there is typically no field use for a 24-hour period (for practices or games) if there has been one (1) hour of heavy rain, or if standing water is on the field. Note that this restriction only applies to natural grass fields.  Artificial turn fields remain open in inclement weather and are closed only when the safety of the athletes is of concern.

Even if the status of a field has not been posted as restricted on the MSL Web Site, the Referee or Parent Official can determine a field dangerous or unplayable, and may even terminate a game in progress. Games terminated prior to the start of the second half are considered un-played. Those terminated after the start of the second half are considered to have been played. Extended rain periods may prevent a complete ten (10) game season. The Board of Directors will then determine the policy for final League standing.

In the event a field has not been restricted as provided for herein, and a team has failed to report for play as scheduled, a forfeit (1-0 win for the team that was present) may be awarded.
