What happens if it's raining?
If it’s light or intermittent rain – play goes on. As a winter sport in New Zealand, its expected there will be some drizzly days, it is usually more fun with a few puddles!!
If it’s heavy/stormy rain, please check our social media (make sure you “LIKE” our Albany United Facebook page for all club news and info during the season or click here)
We’ll also send communications via Texts to the coach/manager. From here the coaches/managers will send cascade communication to their team (parents).
We aim to communicate as soon as we know on a Saturday should there be a cancellation.
Communication is received by the Governing Body, Northern Region Football, following field inspections and communication with local Council.
Should the fields be closed by our local Council, We will be notified and inturn will communicate as above.
