Weather Cancellation Policy

Recreational Soccer Weather Cancellation
Please keep our weather policy in mind throughout the season; the hotline number listed below will only be updated for weather if there is a change in policy or if weather cancellations occur. Rain-outs will be announced on the hotline by 5:00pm the day of the session. If there is not a hotline message canceling the scheduled session, you should come to the fields because the weather is too questionable to predetermine cancellation.

It is important to note that we will not cancel sessions prior to the scheduled session time due to weather unless it is obvious that the severe weather will interfere throughout the entire night. If the fields have a lot of standing water on them from raining all day, the sessions will be cancelled. At the Recreational Soccer level, cancelled sessions are not rescheduled, they are just not played.

ARAA Sports Hotline (763) 422-9555; Press 6 for Soccer, then Press 1 for Recreational Soccer

If there is not a current message you are to assume the games will be played as scheduled.

Traveling Soccer Weather Cancellation
All weather related game cancellations will be determined at the field prior to game time.

Uniform Policy

As of 4/15/10

As part of the risk management and player protection policies of Northern Lights Soccer Club and in accordance with the recommendations of the Minnesota Youth Soccer Association (MYSA), names of any kind may not be applied to uniforms. As outlined in MYSA policies and as upheld by Northern Lights Soccer Club, we simply do not want our youth to be identifiable by predatory individuals. Furthermore, altering the uniforms whatsoever is prohibited.

FAQ - Why can we put names on warm ups but not uniforms?

Northern Lights Soccer Club supplies uniforms and as the name implies, they must remain "uniform" in nature and therefore may not be altered. Since the uniforms are supplied by the club, are mandatory to wear and are not purchased as a optional item, we feel it’s in the best interest of our membership and the responsibility of the club to uphold this policy for youth protection purposes. Optional club apparel can be purchased individually through the online club store and therefore it’s up to each individual if they choose to have a name or nick name included on the articles purchased.

We are very proud to announce a new logo beginning to be used for 2010 (check it out on our website). With this announcement the committee has confirmed the below policy and thought this would be a great time to inform and or remind everyone about the use of the logo.

Updated Northern Lights Soccer Club Policy 2010

Ver. 1-32010.A
The Northern Lights Soccer Club logo or it’s name can only be reproduced on or applied to uniforms, apparel, accessories, or other sports related elements that are purchased through the Northern Lights Soccer Club or it’s store (store can mean physical location or online). The logo or club name can only be reproduced by Northern Lights Soccer approved vendors working under permission and strict guidelines of the Northern Lights Soccer Club. Interested parties desiring to use the logo or name on any aforementioned items may request permission to have items added to the store through the Uniform Coordinator; who needs final approval from the Uniform Committee and the Northern Lights Soccer Club President.

We anticipate 100% compliance with the above mentioned policies and wish you all the best in the upcoming Northern Lights Soccer season

Bret Fields - President
