Summer Reminders

Hi Team!!

Please remember to be safe as you have fun this summer. 
Take steps to protect your health during summer heat.

• People who exercise on hot days are more likely to become dehydrated and get heat-related illness.
• Take steps to protect your health and the health of others on hot days.
• If you feel faint or weak, STOP all activity and get to a cool place.
• If you plan to exercise while it's hot outside:
• Limit outdoor activity, especially during the middle of the day when the sun is hottest if possible.
• Wear and reapply sunscreen as indicated on the package.
• Schedule workouts and practices earlier or later in the day when the temperature is cooler.
• Pace activity.
• Start activities slow and pick up the pace gradually.
• Drink more water than usual, and don't wait until you're thirsty to drink more. Muscle cramping may be an early sign of heat-related illness.
• Monitor a teammate's condition, and have someone do the same for you.
• Wear loose, lightweight, light-colored clothing.
• Follow additional tips on how to prevent heat-related illness.
   

Let's all get back together next year.
