Wet Weather Procedure for Weekend Fixtures

This season, to maximise playing time despite wet weather, a trial Wet Weather Process has been implemented.

On the morning of match day, clubs will assess field conditions before 6:30 AM. Fields deemed playable will follow these guidelines:

  • MiniRoos (U6-U11): Matches on playable fields will proceed as scheduled and will not be relocated to alternate venues. All unplayable fields will be postponed.
  • Round 1-4-U12 and older: If there are not enough available fields to relocate all games, the competition round will be postponed and rescheduled.
  • From Round 5: If relocation is possible, competition games will be selected at random to proceed (e.g., 14B may play at an alternate venue while 14A may not).

This process requires significant coordination by clubs and the SSFA Wet Weather team particularly in the early hours of game day. Notification of changes will be provided as soon as possible via the SSFA Facebook page and the SSFA website: Shirefootball.com.au
