The Hits
With rain in the forecast again, remember that your coaches are the best source for updates on cancellations or schedule changes for your team. We communicate with them as soon as a decision is made, but sometimes that happens later in the day or closer to game time if more time or information is needed. You can also check our Instagram and website field status widget for updates.
