WEATHER & REFUND POLICY

Parkland Area Soccer Club (PASC) Weather Policy

Last Updated: March 2, 2026

Lightning & Thunder

Safety is our strict priority. PASC follows the standard "See It, Hear It, Clear It" rule.

If thunder is heard or lightning is seen, play is suspended immediately.
All players, coaches, and spectators must leave the field and take shelter in hard-topped vehicles. Do not stand under trees or open pavilions.
Play cannot resume until 30 minutes after the last sound of thunder or sight of lightning.

Rain & Field Conditions

Soccer is an all-weather sport. We play in the rain when possible and deemed safe by PASC and the partnering community.

Practices and games are typically cancelled for heavy downpours, standing water, or to prevent severe turf damage.
A PASC Board member works directly with the local townships to monitor field conditions.
Most often, the township officially closes the fields and PASC follows suit. However, PASC reserves the right to close fields independently if needed.

Extreme Heat

Mandatory water breaks will be enforced during high temperatures.
If the heat index reaches unsafe levels per US Youth Soccer guidelines, training or games will be shortened or canceled.

Extreme Cold

Players must wear appropriate layers (under the uniform, no exposed hoods) during cold weather.
Activities will be canceled if the wind chill drops to unsafe levels.

Communication Protocol

Weather decisions are made as early as possible. All field cancellations will be communicated directly to parents by their coaches via TeamSnap. PASC usually communicates cancellations by 4:00 PM (EST).

Parkland Area Soccer Club (PASC) Refund Policy

Last Updated: March 5, 2026

General Registration Fees

PASC relies on registration fees to cover upfront costs like league fees, uniforms, insurance, and equipment. Because these expenses are paid before the season begins, all registration fees are strictly non-refundable.

Registration Insurance

During the registration process, families are offered the option to purchase third-party registration insurance. We highly recommend this coverage. If a player cannot continue the season due to injury, illness, or other covered reasons, parents must file a claim directly through that insurance provider to receive a refund. PASC does not issue refunds directly for injuries or withdrawals.

Volunteer Fee Refund

PASC is a 100% volunteer-run organization, and we rely on parent help to operate. To encourage participation, a refundable volunteer fee is built into your registration cost:

Select (Recreation) Players: Pay a $25 volunteer fee per season.
Premier (Travel) Players: Pay a $50 volunteer fee for their full-year registration ($25 for the Fall season, and $25 for the Spring season).

Families who complete an approved volunteer role are eligible to have this fee refunded. To claim the refund, volunteers must complete the official volunteer form provided by their coaches toward the end of the season.
