Rainout Line
City fields: 441-9722 and 486-0552
During the season, game cancellations will be posted here as well as on the rainout lines above.
Please Note: The JSL does not own any fields. We rent venues from the city, state, and other private entities. While we do hire high school age workers for some of the field maintenance, in most cases, the owners of these facilities make the determination of field playability. They are protecting not only the safety of the participants, but also the long-term care of their facilities.
Junior Saltdogs League Rainout Policy:
During severe weather on game days, the fields will be checked after 3:00pm for safety and playability. In the event of game cancellations, a message will be posted on the rainout lines by 5:00pm.
After 5pm weekdays, the adult coaches and umpire should determine if the game needs to be cancelled as severe weather progresses. Please note, it may not be possible to update the rainout line if games are cancelled after 5pm. We apologize in advance if you drive to the game and it gets cancelled.
For weekend games, we will forecast the playability by 5pm on the previous evening. If possible, the rainout line will be updated the following morning. Please check the rainout line frequently as updates may occur throughout the day.
If cancelled, the coaches should contact the commissioner. A commissioner may or may not be present at the field.
PLEASE NOTE: It is NOT possible for our volunteers and field crew, to re-check every field across Lincoln, if weather moves in during the late afternoon. Conditions may improve or deteriorate as the day progresses. Because the fields are spread all over Lincoln, some fields may be playable while other fields may NOT be playable. We sometimes have to make a "crystal ball" decision.
Year-end Tournament Games:
Weather cancellation decisions for year-end tournaments will be made separately for each of the morning, afternoon, and evening sessions. If the first game of the session is cancelled, the remaining games in that session are cancelled. Weather may effect playability as the day progresses.
For tourney games on Weeknights, the rainout line will be updated by 5pm.
For tourney games on Saturdays, the rainout line will be updated, one-hour before the first scheduled game time, of each session below.
1. Morning session: If cancelled, all morning games will be cancelled.
2. Afternoon session: If cancelled, all afternoon games will be cancelled.
3. Evening session: If cancelled, all evening games will be cancelled.
We do reserve the right to modify the format and schedule as needed.
