Wouldn’t it be common sense rule that teams go off for a short time until it passes. I have recently experienced a tournament (Chester) were kids were crying and asking to go home – weather was so bad. Organisers refused to postpone so after 2 matches parents protested and just took their kids off. No refund.

With actual matches it’s obviously harder due to subs not being as active as starting eleven.
Think it depends on the day taking all things into consideration, age group, wind chill, clothing, pitch location as well, plus the other team and coaches.
