Weather and Field Closures

Are today's games canceled? Good question, the answer is sometimes a little complicated–at least to explain. 

Fairfax County "controls" Alabama Drive Park and Bruin Park.  Therefore, the County makes all decisions regarding closing those fields because of inclement weather.  Bready and Haley Smith are under the "control" of HOYB.

The home team manager is responsible for checking out the field to determine if it is playable. If he deems that it is not, he must call the opposing team manager as well as the Umpire Scheduler so that the umpires do not show-up.

To reach the Fairfax County Athletic Field Closures, please click or call 703-324-5264. The Town of Herndon Inclement Weather number is 703-435-6866, select option 1, then option 1 again.

 
     
Parents and coaches should check the Latest News page for field closure information.  Parents can expect a phone call or email from the team manager if a game has been canceled.

Parents: if it rains one-hour or so before the game and you have not received a phone call from your team manager, you need to show up at the field. Sometimes cancellations are a "game time" decision. Do not assume the game is canceled just because it is raining where you are.
