What Do I do When I See Lightening?

Lightning Safety Policy
The safety of our players and volunteers is of utmost importance. Therefore, the following guidelines are established- to be followed by all who utilize the Big Sun and Rotary properties.
1. Volunteers in leadership positions (Board members, referees, and coaches) are charged with the duty to monitor conditions and advise the players and families. We may utilize an air horn to indicate field closure.
2. Understand SAFE shelters. Evacuation sites include: a.) Fully enclosed vehicles with the windows up. b.) The concession stand and bathrooms. c.) The low ground.
3. UNSAFE SHELTER AREAS include the metal bleachers and pavilion. AVOID trees, water, high ground, and open fields.
4. Lightning’s distance is easy to calculate: Utilize the Flash-to-Bang count: At the sight of lightning begin counting. If thunder occurs before 30 seconds, you should already be seeking shelter.
5. If you feel your hair standing on end, and/or hear crackling noises” – you are in lightning’s electric field. Immediately remove metal objects (including baseball cap), place your feet together, duck your head, and crouch down in baseball catcher’s stance with hands on knees.
6. Wait a minimum of 30 minutes from the last observed lightning or thunder before resuming activities.
7. People who have been struck by lightning do not carry an electrical charge and are safe to handle. Apply first aid/CPR immediately and get emergency help promptly (911).
“If you can see it, flee it; if you can hear it, clear it.”
If you can hear thunder, prepare to evacuate. If you see lightning, suspend the activity
Games or practice, no one should be playing on the fields during any lightening.
Coaches should be responsible and follow these guidelines.

Field Work Day Successful.
Jul 01, 2008
The BSYSL fields are some of the best soccer fields in the state when it comes to quality and maintenance of the grass and the environment. This comes with some knowledge and hard work. Keith Kirchoffer has been the "Go To" guy for 10 years or more and has handed over the fields to our latest Field Commissioner - Terry Desin. Terry has been doing an outstanding job keep up the legacy of professionalism and integrity that he was entrusted with.
Saturday, June 28th we had a field maintenance day in which new sod was laid in front of some of the goal boxes, hills leveled, holes filled and general upkeep preformed.
Fields 1-4 will be closed for the next 6-8 weeks to allow time for the grass to root.
Here is a note from Terry:
On Saturday June 28th, we had a fantastic effort put out by the following young men whom put forth alot of sweat and got dirty, while getting the job done: Dillon Brune, Joshua Crown, Jordan Crown, Dawn Crown, Zack Crawford, Ryan Kirchoffer, James Privateer, Javier "Paco" Velasco, and Steven Williams. I appreciate their efforts and commitment to our league.
Dawn Crown, Keith Kirchoffer, Richard Buck, and Ron Boddy also were there, and did a great job in the supervising and assisting of these young men. I am not sure if Keith's truck will ever be clean again.
Without the help of all of the above, this task would have been impossibile to complete.
Dawn and I split the cost of some pizzas for everyone at lunch time, and the bottled water the league supplied was devoured as fast as the pizza. We aren't looking for credit for this, just thought you might like to know we did feed them.
I personally enjoyed working with these young men. It just goes to show you that our future is in good hands, when we have young men like this showing up and getting the job done.
