IT NEVER RAINS AT NEWELL PARK!
We have a saying: It never rains at Newell Park! While this is not entirely true, it captures the spirit of our rainout cancellation policy for games and practices. In short, it is VERY RARE that we will cancel our games and practices due to rain.
RAINOUT NOTIFICATIONS
In the unlikely event of cancellation due to inclement weather, we will send a text notification saying that practice or games have been cancelled at least 30 minutes before the scheduled event. Sometimes we may send a notification earlier when it is clear that the fields will be closed. Never assume that practices or games are cancelled and prepare to attend any scheduled practices or games unless you receive a rainout notification via text message or official league email.
Do Not Call, Text or Send Emails Asking About Rainouts
Please do not call, send emails or send text messages asking if practices or games are cancelled due to rain because there is no guarantee that they will be answered. We do not have any staff dedicated to answering these inquiries and we have a strict rainout policy and procedure which minimizes confusion.
The only way to know that games or practices are cancelled due to rain or inclement weather is if you receive a rainout notification. If you do not receive a rainout notification, then any scheduled practices or games are still on. Do not wait for any word that games or practices are still on.
We will send out rainout notifications via email and text message. In order to receive rainout notifications via text messages, you must first subscribe to our text message notifications. Normal carrier text messaging rates will apply.
