Bad weather can cause poor field conditions and cancellations of games and practices.

Fairfax County reviews the field status and issues field closure status on the Fairfax County Web Site by 3:00 pm each week day.  We then update the weather line and the web site.  On weekends, we make our own field status determinations.

Even if the County doesn't close fields, we may need to close a field based on our own determination.  Generally, this determination is with the coaches involved in the event.

Pioneer has adopted Clermont Park Fields #1 and #4.  This allows us to make our own determination on those fields and we might open those fields when others are closed.  We will normally update the information line and web site on field status as early as we can, by 3:30 pm on weekdays and by 9:00 am on weekends.  If the league website and the phone line do not specifically state a field is closed, assume it is open.
