WEATHER______________________________________

Threatening Weather: Parents- please go to the field and wait for the final call from the referee regarding play. As you know in Michigan the weather changes hour by hour so some games may be played and some games may be cancelled all in the same day.   

Excessive Wet Fields- the City reserves the right to cancel games if fields are excessively wet. This will decrease permanent damage to fields. Every effort will be made to inform the coaches before hand- however there may be instances that games are cancelled just before your game time. Coaches & Parents can call the City of Wixom at 248-624-2850 to check for cancellations made on game day.

Reschedules: The U6 & U8 Games will not be rescheduled- however if you want to hold a scrimmage with the other team- please do so at your time and convenience other than Saturdays.
