Lightning and severe weather can occur at any time of year, however the months of April through October produce the highest number of lightning strikes along the Front Range.
It is extremely important to clear the playing fields if lightning is within 8 miles. ALL players and coaches should remain in a safe location (i.e. car) until 30 minutes has passed since the last lightning strike within 8 miles. Rush recommend that all coaches download the 'WeatherBug' App and use the Lightning 'Spark' feature to gauge distance of lightning strikes.
Safety: Our environment is safe. This includes the office, our travels, the fields and our bodies. Safety is not only physical safety from harm, but safety from ridicule and attack. We are comforted and encouraged in the club. We portray self-control and kindness to our staff, our colleagues and players.
