Club -Heat Policy for Trainings
1) Where the venue temperature cannot be ascertained but temperature exceeding 37C is expected, training activity involving physical exertion will be cancelled. The Senior Administration Manager will cancel trainings at all venues that do not have cooling facilities.
2) When the temperature inside a venue exceeds 40C, all training involving physical exertion shall cease. Coaches may conduct lectures, discussion or display sessions.
3) If the venue temperature exceeds 30C or in the judgement of the coach or a consensus of parents is that it has exceeded 30C and no evidence to the contrary is available, trainings shall be modified so that there is a one minute break after every five minutes of activity. Coaches shall pay particular attention to players' regular hydration.
Should any issues arise, child safety is the first concern. At all trainings, players should have regular access to water regardless of the temperature in the venue.
If there are any questions, please feel free to contact Greg Jeffers on 9439 5686 at the Eltham Wildcat Club Office.
