HEAT SAFETY GUIDELINES

Prioritizing Player Safety in Hot Weather

Mt Diablo Mustang Soccer prioritizes player safety during hot weather. We follow air quality recommendations from the AQMD and may adjust practices or games accordingly.

Hydration is Key

Players should drink plenty of fluids throughout the day, especially before, during, and after practices and games. Avoid sugary drinks and opt for water or sports drinks.

Heat Illness Awareness

Heat illness can occur in hot weather. Be aware of the symptoms of heat cramps, exhaustion, and stroke.

  • Heat Cramps: Muscle cramps, thirst, chills.
  • Heat Exhaustion: Nausea, fatigue, headache, dizziness.
  • Heat Stroke: Hot, dry skin, confusion, rapid pulse, loss of consciousness (Call 911 immediately!)

Cooling Down

If a player shows signs of heat illness, move them to a cool, shaded area. Provide fluids and cool them down with ice packs or wet cloths. Seek medical attention if needed.

Parental Decisions

Ultimately, parents decide if their child participates in hot weather. If you have concerns, let your coach know.
