TSSAA Heat policy prohibits schools from practicing or competing when the heat index at the location of the activity is in excess of 104 degrees Fahrenheit. This includes indoor locations as well.
Per SCIAA policy you must have an approved method of monitoring the heat index at your site because temperatures can vary across different locations and can change rapidly.
Practice times need to be modified to avoid the hottest part of the day and precautions need to be taken for anyone experiencing signs of heat illness. Provide shade, ample breaks, have water available and promote hydration throughout the duration of practice.
The heat index for the remainder of the week is expected to rise. Coaches need to continuously keep an eye out for athletes in distress and monitor the heat index at your location.
