All Saturday, 10/27 matches will be played as scheduled. This is on both CSC and NRU fields and includes all divisions, PreK-U18.
Please dress players accordingly. The temps will be in the low 40s in the early morning and quickly rising throughout the day.
Players are welcome – and advised – to wear layers tomorrow. Long-sleeves/jackets may be worn under jerseys. Long pants, gloves, and hats (no attachments or dangles) may also be worn.
The fields are wet, saturated, or have standing water on them making them unsafe for play. All CSC rec matches have been cancelled for today. This includes U8, U10, U13, U18, and PreK. This also includes any teams that had games on NRU fields in Blacksburg.
The U8 fields will be too saturated early in the morning for U8 games. All U8 games for Saturday, May 13th have been postponed until Saturday, May 20th. Â Schedules have been updated online.
Weather Policy Reminder: We play in the rain. According to the forecast now (10:25p) there is a moderate chance of rain for the morning games, but no thunderstorms. All games should proceed as scheduled until and unless we close the fields. At this point, we plan to keep all fields open and play all games.
Â
If there is thunder/lightning in the area, fields must be cleared for 30 minutes after the final occurrence. PreK/U8 coaches need to make the decision, U10+ the referee makes the decision.
Â
If your game does not get played or if you play less than one half, please email christiansburgsoccer@gmail.com with your match details so it can possibly be rescheduled.
Â
A decision for PreK activities will be made by 9:30a since the possibility of storms increases around 11a.
Kindergarten activities will continue as scheduled for this evening. The weather forecast shows that the storms will hold off until after everyone clears the field. (As of 3:45pm, the storms are not expected until 7:30pm.)
If storms look like they’re arriving sooner than forecasted, skip the practice portion of your evening and get to the game. If thunder/lightning is in the area you must clear the field immediately.
Due to the amount of rain expected over the next 20 hours, all rec games have been cancelled for tomorrow, Saturday October 8th. Games will be rescheduled, if possible.
