Heat Index Guidelines:
When does heat affect games/practices?
A heat index MUST be used to determine the cancellation or modifying practices.
Coaches will be informed prior to school ending whether or not these changes will occur.
A heat index can be found at http://www.nws.noaa.gov/om/heat/index.shtml
Heat Index below 98:
-Full practice, but monitor athletes for signs of heat related illnesses. Provide fluid replacement
Heat Index between 98 - 106:
-Modified Practice - this could include lighter practice attire (no pads), frequent water and rest breaks (every 15-20 minutes), shorter
practices, practices later in the day (when cooler), or "walk-thru" practices
Heat Index above 106:
-All activity cancelled - team meetings only
