Preparations for Hot practices & game days

Please take the following steps to ensure your child(ren) are ready for practices & games when it is hot outside.

  1. Make sure you child(ren) are in an air-conditioned envrionment for 2 hours before arriving to practice/game. This will give their bodies enough time to cool down from any activities that they had been participating in earlier that day.
  2. Make sure they drink plenty of water starting 2 hours prior to practice. This will prevent them from dehydrating during practices/games.
  3. Make sure they bring fluids with them to practice. Water, gatorade or propel are acceptable.

Inform your child(ren) if they start feeling sick at practice or a game that they tell their coach immediately. 

Practices will be canceled if a heat warning is issued by the National Weather Service.

    Tax Time Info:

    Did you know:
    Out-of-pocket charitable contributions. It’s hard to overlook the big charitable gifts you made during the year, by check or payroll deduction. But the little things add up, too, and you can write off out-of-pocket costs you incur while doing good works. Ingredients for casseroles you regularly prepare for a nonprofit organization’s soup kitchen, for example, or the cost of stamps you buy for your school’s fundraiser count as a charitable contribution. If you drove your car for charity in 2007, remember to deduct 14 cents per mile.
    *For more on commonly overlooked tax deductions-click onto the heading to get to the link.
