Weather Policy
Soccer is a game played in the rain. You can assume the games will be played unless the fields are over saturated and the city closes all or some fields down in advance and ESA will send an email out. In case of inclement weather, in most cases the decision to cancel or terminate a game in progress is made at the field by the referee. Regular season games cancelled due to weather will not be made up.
ESA Spring Season Calendar
ESA News
In an effort to increase concussion awareness and prevent concussion-related injuries, the state of Minnesota has recently passed a law that will require all coaches and officials of youth sports to receive initial online concussion prevention training and online training at least once every three calendar years thereafter. The required online training takes approximately 30 minutes to complete. For more information please visit our Concussion Prevention page.
Edina Soccer Association requires that all volunteer coaches, instructors, supervisors and referees complete the required online concussion prevention training module. Edina Soccer Association will not permit anyone who has not completed this training to coach an ESA team.
ESA Warm Weather Guidelines
If the Heat Index is...
Up to 89 degrees - Normal Play
90-99 degrees - Mandatory 2-minute water breaks per half with running time. Each half shortened by 5 min.
100-105 degrees - Mandatory 2-minute water breaks per half with running time. Each half shorted by 10 min.
Over 105 degrees - Suspend Play
For Pre K-2nd Grade: The Lead Instructor will determine the Heat Index. For 3rd Grade and older: The Site Supervisor will determine the Heat Index. Coaches should discuss the heat index with the referees prior to game being played, so that any adjustments can be made to play time. Regular season games cancelled due to weather will not be made up.
