Inclement Weather Travel Procedure
Overview
Teams participating in Calgary United Soccer Association (CUSA) are expected to play all of their games; however it is not required nor expected of our teams to travel on highways inside or outside of the City of Calgary during extreme winter weather conditions. CUSA does not want to put any Coach, Player, or fan in a situation where they do not feel safe driving to a game and we encourage teams to use their best judgement when evaluating road safety. We encourage coaches to use road condition updates provided by the Government of Alberta along with Travel Advisories issued by local police and RCMP as resources when determining if travel is safe.
