Thunder/Lightning Guidelines


Everyone participating in a Cicero Little League event, including games and practices, are expected to follow these basic guidelines when there is thunder and/or lightning.

    1. If there is lightning or thunder, play must be suspended for 30 minutes from the last time lightning is seen or thunder is heard.

    2. The 30-minute countdown restarts every time lightning is seen or thunder is heard.

    3. Players must wait in cars/vehicles and NOT in their dugouts or batting cage.

    4. The concession stand will be closed during this time.

    5. Activities can resume once 30-minutes have passed from the last time lightning is seen or thunder is heard and/or an all-clear announcement has been made.


"Lightning can strike long before it starts raining... Many lightning strike victims are hit before rain begins. Lightning can strike over 10 miles away from a thunderstorm."1
