In the event of inclement weather, umpires and players should call (413) 587-1044 or check the City of Northampton’s Cancellations Page to learn if the Northampton Rec Department has canceled the game. If the city closes the field, there is no game, and the umpire does not have to come to the field.

If a team has extra players, they are encouraged to share players to ensure the game can be played. If you can share players and still play, the scheduled home team pays the umpire.

The home team rep is responsible for notifying the umpire AND field liner of the cancellation.

If your game or practice is canceled for reasons other than rain, call the Parks Dept. (587-1040). Letting them know that a reservation for a field has been canceled is very important.
