OH MY! It is hot...and that is an understatement. However, we, as a coaching staff, are cognizant of the impact heat can have on our athletes and are EXTREMELY proactive in our efforts to provide the safest environment possible.
To that end, please understand that we will take frequent hydration breaks (every 15 minutes) and all players understand that anytime player needs fluids, we will accommodate. Additionally, all players will weigh in and out each day. If a football players has a drastic change in weight he will NOT be allowed to return to practice until we are comfortable with his weight being regulated. We also have posted in our locker room a hydration reminder and remind our players at each practice the amount of fluid they should be taking on before and after each workout.
In short, we are serious about the health of our players and will make sure we keep the weather conditions as a high priority.
Go Big Blue, Coach Qualls
