Fall sports are back, but the summer heat isn’t going anywhere! 🌞 Make sure your kids ease into the season safely. It can take up to two weeks for their bodies to adjust to the heat and increased activity levels.

Watch out for risks like previous heat illnesses or high temperatures. Hydration is key, so encourage them to drink plenty of water and maybe even boost those electrolytes.

Plan for extra breaks and keep an eye out for warning signs like confusion or fatigue. Let’s keep our young athletes safe and ready to play! 🏆💧
