Fall Practice Fields

The XF Rec program uses an online practice field reservation system.  Teams can reserve 2 hours of practice each week.   Practices can start on or after August 1.  Coaches can choose the days, times and location from a list of fields in the system for their area.  We do require that coaches hold 4 practices before the fall season games begin in September.

WEATHER: 

Heat and AQI (wildfire smoke)--There are guidelines set by US Youth Soccer that we follow for excessive heat and high AQI (150 or greater).  In most instances, we will send emails out by 2pm on weekdays or 8am on weekends if we need to cancel practices or games.

Lightning-If you experience lightning, stop all activities, however unpopular the decision may be, and seek safe shelter.  Remain there for at least 30 minutes after the last witness of lightning/thunder.  Most likely, this will end the training session or match due to the waiting period.
