VOLUNTEERS:FCYSL depends on your participation. 99% of FCYSL consists solely of volunteers. Without these volun-teers children could be turned away. Please help out wherever you can. We are especially in need of coaches in the younger age groups. With FCYSL training, guidance and support, coaching a FCYSL team is not beyond your capabilities.
Remember, without you, our volunteer, there is no FCYSL.

Details About Forms of LightningForked Lightning: Crooked or branched channels in a lightning
stroke. Observers might see these ominous look-ing bolts shoot from the cloud to the ground, from one cloud to another, or out of the top or side of a storm.
Sheet Lightning: Strike appears within a cloud or is obscured by
nearby clouds. Flashes of lightning can illuminate entire clouds making them visible from miles away.
Heat Lightning: Flashes too far away for observer to hear the thun-
der. Like sheet lightning, these flashes are created by lightning bolts, but are in thunderstorms more than 10 miles away.
Ball Lightning: Extremely rare, nearly phantom, luminous spheres.
Less than three feet wide, these glowing balls have been seen coming from some of the more violent thunderstorms, which contain lots of lightning
St. Elmo’s Fire: Luminous greenish or bluish glow above pointed
objects on the ground. Named for the patron saint of sailors, St. Elmo’s Fire is created by the soft glow of an electrical field generated by a continu-ous flow of tiny sparks.
High Altitude Lightning: Recently discovered colored flashes high above
storms.
