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
