The League has adopted the following Weather Safety Guidlines effective with the 2026 Women’s season. The league has recognized the NOAA Heat Index as the official advisory.
Thunder/Lightning: Stop play immediately and seek shelter. Wait 30 minutes before resuming; if storms continue, vacate the courts and notify the Commissioner. Suspended matches resume where they stopped. Lightning detection devices take precedence where available.
Heat Index:
• Extreme Caution Zone: Matches may be rescheduled. If play continues, timeouts and game intervals may be extended to 5 minutes for rest and hydration. Brief hydration breaks of up to 15 seconds are permitted if they do not disrupt play.
• Danger Zone: Matches must be rescheduled. Captains and players who choose to play during a Danger Heat Index assume all liability.
