7 Tips To Ensure Safety in Hot Weather
From an Article on AYSO.org
September 17, 2014
With high heat warnings in many parts of the country right now, or whenever temperature and humidity levels rise above normal, it’s important to ensure that everyone is safe when playing soccer. Check out these 7 tips for how to stay cool during these hot soccer months:
- Allow for stoppages and delays of game for the purposes of hydration -- drinking plenty of liquids -- and player substitutions.
- Consider notifying families at least 24 hours in advance to allow for proper hydration before the game even begins.
- Make sure that the kids are wearing sunscreen and have plenty on hand in case a parent forgets.
- Try to add shade to your fields by utilizing tents, trees and buildings to allow spectators to have a cool place to watch.
- Shorten matches if the weather worsens throughout the day.
- When possible, try to schedule games during the cooler times of the day such as mornings and evenings.
- Bring damp/wet wash cloths in a cooler to the field for players to place on their necks during breaks. This technique can provide a lot of relief from the heat.
Remember that incidents of dehydration, heat exhaustion, heatstroke and sunburn are avoidable. Be prepared for those hot days and keep your players safe.
AYSO's Six Philosophies
AYSO's philosophies are living tenets that separate it from other sports organizations. They are Everyone Plays®, Balanced Teams, Open Registration, Positive Coaching, Good Sportsmanship and Player Development.
Everyone Plays®
Our program's goal is for kids to play soccer so we mandate that every player on every team must play at least 50% of every game. It’s no fun to spend the game on the bench…and that’s no way to learn soccer!
Balanced Teams
Each year we form new teams as evenly balanced as possible because it’s more fun and a better learning experience when teams of similar ability play. It allows for each player to gain the experience of a wide variety of teammates of different skill levels.
Open Registration
Our program is open to all children between 4 and 19 years of age who want to register and play soccer. Interest and enthusiasm are the only criteria for playing. There are no elimination try-outs and nobody gets cut.
Positive Coaching
Encouragement of player effort provides for greater enjoyment for the players and leads to better-skilled and better-motivated players. A coach can be one of the most influential people in a child’s life, so AYSO requires they create a positive experience for every boy and girl.
Good Sportsmanship
We strive to create a positive environment based on mutual respect rather than a win-at-all-costs attitude, and our program is designed to instill good sportsmanship in every facet of AYSO.
Player Development
We believe that all players should be able to develop their soccer skills and knowledge to the best of their abilities, both individually and as members of a team, in order to maximize their enjoyment of the game.
Concussion Awareness
Coaches, referee and board members are encouraged to take this online training to
recognize the signs and respond to head injuries.
