We will make every effort possible to complete the tournament in the time period allotted. We are not however, able to continue or extend a tournament to another day or weekend.


We put our reputation on the line each and every time we run a tournament and we therefore will make every effort possible to see that all games are played and all tournaments completed. 


Sports at the Beach utilizes an automatic calling system to keep coaches updated regarding all weather decisions. In the event of a weather-related delay or cancellation, all coaches will be contacted by this automated system. Information regarding these decisions can also be found on our homepage, and on our Facebook page.
