Play Smart as Temperatures Rise
As the weather heats up, it’s important to protect yourself from heat exhaustion. Symptoms like dizziness, nausea, cramps, and fatigue can appear quickly and lead to serious health risks if ignored.
Why You Should Be Careful:
- The body loses fluids faster in the heat.
- Certain medications can increase heat sensitivity.
- Hot surfaces and long matches make it harder to cool down.
Stay Safe on the Court:
- Hydrate before, during, and after play.
- Wear light, breathable clothing and a hat.
- Take shade breaks and listen to your body.
- If you feel lightheaded or weak, stop and cool down.
Enjoy the game — but stay cool, stay safe, and play smart!
