Excessive Wet Fields- the City reserves the right to cancel games if fields are excessively wet. This will decrease permanent damage to fields. Every effort will be made to inform the coaches before hand- however there may be instances that games are cancelled just before your game time. Coaches & Parents can call the City of Wixom at 248-624-2850 to check for cancellations made on game day.
