How do we know if matches are canceled for the night?

In the winter if there is a snow emergency, it is pretty much a sure
thing we are going to cancel.

In the summer the beach can take a lot of rain. The beach courts
drain fantastically. Severe storms and lightning are the main
reasons for postponing matches. You can call me to check the
current situation (402-3999) and I will get a message on ASAP as
soon as I know what I am going to do. Unfortunately for me, a lot
of storms tend to build up suddenly in the late afternoon and
disappear just as quickly. With those temperamental storms I
usually cancel matches up until a certain time. And then we begin
at whatever time I have said is ok to start again.

An important note is that I never push matches back a week. If
there is a date affixed to when you play, then that is the date you
play. Any matches that need to be made up are tacked on at the end
of the season, or at open spots on a particular night's
schedule...if there are any time slots available.

Besides storms and lightning I may sometimes cancel in heavy,
consistent rain. And also combinations or not of rain, cold and
cold winds. Basically, when the temperature gets around 55 to 60
degrees it is borderline to be playing in bare feet. One great way
to keep the feet warm is to wear sand socks:

My best promo line for them is that "they look goofy, but they feel
great". I'll have to work on that if I'm going to sell them.
