General Policy
At NJ Elite Flag Football, the safety of our athletes, families, and staff is our top priority.
We play through rain, wind, and cold weather, as long as conditions remain safe.
Please come prepared for all weather conditions.
As a reminder of our weather policy: We will continue all games providing there is no thunder or lightning.
If Mother Nature forces us to cancel, we will send out a mass email and social media post, as well as an update on our website.
If you do not hear from us, please plan on playing!
Weather Guidelines
- Games will continue in the rain unless thunder or lightning is present.
- If thunder or lightning occurs before halftime, the game will be delayed or canceled.
- If thunder or lightning occurs at halftime or later, the game is considered complete. The score at the time of stoppage is the final result.
Makeup Games
Our League will offer one makeup per season. Should multiple cancellations occur within the season,
New Jersey Elite Flag Football League may schedule doubleheaders or adjust the season schedule to fit in additional games.
Since some situations are beyond our control, New Jersey Elite will do its best to accommodate,
but is not obligated to reschedule every canceled game.
Please note: Games will not be rescheduled if a coach decides to cancel a practice and/or game on their own.
Communication During Weather Delays
If games are canceled, we will notify families using the following channels:
- Mass email to registered families
- Posts on our official social media accounts
- Update on the New Jersey Elite Flag Football website
If you do not receive communication, please assume games are being played as scheduled.
Thank you for your cooperation and for helping us keep games safe and enjoyable for all players.
