All scheduled games are on unless the City of Oshawa has advised Baseball Oshawa that that the fields are unsafe. All players, coaches and umpires should plan to attend their regularly scheduled game. Upon arriving at diamond it is the discretion of the coach and umpire to cancel the game if they feel the field is not safe or in the event of lightning.  The umpire(s) will make that decision and should be following the Baseball Ontario Lightning Policy for safety.

You are expected to attend all games unless they are told otherwise. Baseball Oshawa will not send out a notice to say 'GAMES ARE A GO FOR TONIGHT.' It is to be assumed that are games are being played unless you have received a cancellation notice. By explaining this to your parents you will be able to eliminate many unnecessary emails and phone calls.

Weather is a tricky and unpredictable thing and Baseball Oshawa's goal is to play the games if possible. There have been many occasions where I would have bet that games were not going to be played, only to have the weather system either blow over, or not be as bad as predicted. Therefore it is critical to go to your assigned field unless otherwise notified.
 
Baseball Oshawa is going to do its best to eliminate unnecessary travel due to poor weather, but it is not a perfect science.
