RAIN  

In soccer, the games are NOT canceled for rain or weather.

The only time we cancel games is if it is "unsafe".  Normally, the
game is played as long as the field is "playable".

The only exceptions are when there are extreme or unsafe conditions.
This would include lightning in the area and when conditions (heavy
snow or rain) makes it impossible to play the game.

In case of thunder and lightning, coaches and/or referees should make
the decision. A good guideline is the "30/30 rule":  if lightning is
followed by thunder within 30 seconds, clear the field.  Play may resume
if no further thunder and lightning acitvity for 30 minutes.
