Due to the strong winds, and forecasts for heavy rain, and multiple weather warnings for flooding and high winds, we feel it is in the best interest of everyone’s safety to cancel tonight.
Soccer is an outdoor sport, played in winds and rain, but we also have a duty of care for all invested in the training experience, and with weather warnings for the area already closing down many outdoor activities, we must also consider the safety of everyone not only on the field but the conditions when leaving the house per the commute.
Training will go ahead in the rain, the wind, and other inclement weather, it is important we dress appropriately for these instances. In general we are very lucky in California as the weather is frequently mild and outside of any extremes.
Preparing for the Winter Sessions
Players need to dress appropriately for the conditions, and in the rain a rain jacket is recommended, and at least a warm up top should be worn. In the car following the practice a change of top should be ready. Players will not get sick from being in the rain, but will if not prepared for post exercise.
As a reminder, all players also need to be in Fremont YSC attire for all practices.
