It has always been our practice to put the safety of our players first and foremost.  With that being said here are some weather related guidelines that we will adhere to during the course of the Spring and Fall Seasons.

Cold Temperature guidelines: we will not have outdoor activities if the temperature drops below 45 degrees.  It is our experience that cold weather can significantly affect baseball by impacting player performance, ball flight, and even the risk of injury. Players are too busy staying warm and not concentrating on the game.  Also in cold temperatures, baseballs can become denser, potentially risking damage to some bats.

Rain guidelines: we will play or practice in light to moderate rain as long as there is no lightning present and the fields are playable.  Once lightning is detected the umpires will halt the games and clear the fields.  A 30 minute wait period is initiated after each lightning announcement.  If we are unable to continue the games will be rescheduled at a later date and time. 


Heat Temperature Guidelines: The safety of our players, umpires, coaches and families is important to us. To be safe, FCSB follows the same heat and humidity recommendations as Little League.  See the chart below

• When the heat index is in the Extreme Danger (red) category, games and warmups will be suspended
• When the heat index is in the Danger (orange) category, we will take a 5-minute break at the end of the 2nd and 4th innings
• We will resume game activities only when it is safe and appropriate to do so
• We will use NOAA temperature, relative humidity, and heat index readings from the nearest available location
