Too Hot for Practice

[2wedge]

Has anyone had their school's practices cancelled due to excessive heat? I am hearing it's happening more and more lately.

I understand that WOS has gone to "two-a-weeks"

Nope… didn’t happen last year either

You have to get used to the heat no matter how hot. Precautions must be taken but you will have to play in the heat sooner or later. You cannot cancel a game because of heat just reschedule if needed. Play the conditions as well as well as the other team.

Make kids get out from in front of the TV/Computer/Playstation and go outside!!  Make sure they are well hydrated with the proper fluids and sugar filled drinks.  NOT rocket science.

Most schools have a plan to handle the heat and will adjust practice times accordingly..once school starts its a little tougher but you can make it work with some creativity

Just think….if BC was on schedule WOS wouldn’t need to practice at all!

Schools should invest in a practice bubble😂😂

Yes, it's too hot for practice.  I played 18 holes of golf yesterday, from ~8:30 - 12:30, then worked in our garden yesterday afternoon, and it was way too hot for this 72 year old.  So, those youngsters should definitely stay inside and drink Liquid IV or Gatoraid or whatever. 

 

Edit:  There was an good moving tide yesterday morning and evening. Not too hot to fish, but sometimes choices must be made.

Cancelling or moving practice depends on whether or not schools are following the UIL recommendations for the new "Wet Bulb" heat measurement. Some schools are, some aren't.

It isn't policy yet, but I'd expect if UIL is recommending it now, they will be making it policy in the not distant future...

It was a pretty hot morning yesterday mowing my lawn! My shirt was all drenched in sweat! I try to get my yard work done either early or late in the day.

Here in Dfw some schools practice in the morning before school starts. When it gets cooler outside they switch to after school.

My understanding is it will be "mandatory" in 2025.....

Not sure how they will pice it, but.....
