Tonka Football Association

Practices can be cancelled for a couple of weather related reasons.  Severe weather is the most obvious reason.  In addition, fields that experience prolonged wet/rainy conditions, may result in the Minnetonka School District not allowing teams onto the practice fields. 

Excluding the factors listed above, practices will be conducted in rainy conditions. Coaches have the discretion to cancel practices on rainy dates if they feel it is warranted.   The development of lightening will suspend practices immediately. 

The Area Director does have the discretion to cancel practice if the league feels necessary.

Games can be cancelled for a couple of weather reasons.

1. Severe weather
2. Field conditions.  Either the school district or city officials will advise the LMAA if this happens

The development of lightening during a game, will IMMEDIATELY suspend the game.  The decision to cancel a game prior to the start is up to the LMAA.  Once the game has begun, the decision to cancel is made by Officials, EMTs or Board Members on site.  At no time, should Coaches cancel the games prior to the start.

If an earlier game is cancelled, it DOES NOT necessarily mean the later games will also be cancelled.

LMAA maintains a weather line (952-583-1353) to provide infomation on weather related game cancellations.  This line is updated by 4 pm weekdays and 7 am on Saturdays.
