Craig Ranch is equipped with the latest in lightning and storm detection covering a 7 mile radius. The MSA has communication procedures including live weather radar to support this system and cover our soccer complexes.

ALERT procedure
If Lighting is detected then a warning siren will sound at Craig Ranch.  At the sound of this siren your referee or MSA representative will halt play and you are advised to seek shelter in your vehicle or public restrooms as appropriate. DO NOT LEAVE THE SOCCER COMPLEX. If any team leaves the fields that team will forfeit its game in progress.  After a constantly monitored period of time (10-30 min.) the MSA will rule on whether it is safe to proceed, wait further or abandon the game. If the game is abandoned the  MSA officials will decide if the current score stands as final, based on time played so far, or if the game should be replayed. These decisions will be published via the MSA website as quickly as possible.

Tornado warnings:
If the McKinney national alert sirens sound (for severe weather / tornado) then the games will be considered abandoned and you are requested to seek shelter urgently. The rescheduling of games and result will be posted on the MSA website as above.

All Clear:
Should the weather threat pass and play resume then an MSA official will go through each car park to inform players of the resumption of play. The games will re-start at the discretion of the referee and assuming the playing field is in safe condition.

IMPORTANT
While every reasonable endeavor will be undertaken by MSA to protect you we cannot accept any liability for injury. We remain committed to protecting you and your families while at our complexes and ask you to use reasonable judgment in supporting our staff in their duties.
