Just a reminder of the policy for thunderstorms while on the fields:
1 rumble of thunder/lightning - off the field for 30 minutes.
DO NOT go back on to the field for 30 minutes from the LAST rumble of thunder/lightning.
DO NOT wait by the backstop.
DO NOT wait under a tree.
Everyone must wait in their cars.
The official Baltimore County Department of Recreation and ParksPolicy is:
Upon the first sound of thunder or sighting of lightning all in attendance at the outdoor activity should immediately go to their cars or enter a building. No one will be allowed to resume play until 30 minutes after the last sound of thunder and/or the last sighting of lightning. Recreation staff has complete authority to enforce this policy at a Baltimore County facility. In the absence of recreation staff, volunteer coaches and officials must follow this policy.
