Please make sure that everyone is aware of both YAFL Lightning Policy and NMAA Policy below. My recommendation to Coaches/Parents is to download the "WeatherBug" app and if lightning is show on the app at 10 miles or less practice goes into the 30 minute delay . Make sure children go to a safe location while waiting the lightning delay out.
Please remember any coaches in violation of the Lightning Policy can receive a 1 game suspension. Let's make sure our children are safe!
ARTICLE IV: SAFTEY AND EMERGENCY ACTION PLAN
Section 1. Lightning and Safety
Practices/games shall be immediately terminated when lightning is within 10 miles and will not resume for 30 minutes.
Players shall immediately remove their helmets and find safe and appropriate shelter.
You may determine the distance of the lightning by either the Flash Bang method or through the use of a properly functioning smart phone lightning alert application.
Flash Bang Method: Count the number of seconds from the time the lighting is seen until thunder is heard. If the time elapsed is less than 30 seconds, lighting is inside of the ten mile range and the practice/game shall cease immediately.
Sincerely,
NMYAFL President
