A Few Reminders

Hi Everyone,

 

Just a few reminders:

1) You need all aspects of the assessments (Safesports, concussion, CORI) done in order to practice, and this needs to be done by tomorrow (9/7) at the latest.  You will not be able to practice or be on the sidelines for games without it done.  In order to coach games, you need a lanyard.  It needs to be completed.  If you are unsure, contact us or Lisa.

 

2) With the heat the next couple of days, be careful at practice.  Here are the game guidelines from BAYS as a reference.

 

Hot Weather

Heat is a problem when it prevents the body from cooling itself. The hotter the body gets, the more likely it is to increase fatigue levels, develop cramps and increase the possibility of heat exhaustion and heat stroke. The hotter and more humid the weather, the faster these problems can develop. Temperatures as low as 65 degrees, with a relative humidity of 100%, can be serious.

1. A heat index chart should be given to every coach and referee (www.nws.noaa.gov)
2. Games need to be adjusted as the heat index rises:

a. Mandatory water breaks
b. Go to quarters
c. Shorten the games

3. Provide training to coaches to teach the signs of heat exhaustion and heat stroke.

 

Club administrators and tournament officials are responsible for monitoring the heat index (by weather radio, online or the Weather Channel) and keeping the participating teams and game officials informed of the heat index. Coaches are encouraged to also monitor the conditions. The following are recommended when there is a possibility of dangerous high heat index:

 

Heat Index

Recommendations

Up to 84°

Normal Play

85° - 89°

Mandatory two-minute water breaks per half with running time.

90° - 99°

Mandatory two-minute water breaks per half with running time. Each half shortened by five minutes.

100° - 104°

Mandatory two-minute water breaks per half with running time. Each half shortened by ten minutes.

105°+

Suspend Play

 

Apply the above recommendations to both games and other soccer activities.

 

For further information, please check the NOAA website for additional information in regards to how temperature and humidity combine to make it feel hotter.

 

Good luck with the first games of the season!

 

Attention Coaches

Attention Dedham Youth Soccer Coaches:

 

Please make sure to complete the Background Checks, MYS registration, and Safesport/Concussion Courses.

 

These are REQUIRED by Mass Youth Soccer and must be completed BEFORE your next practice effective 9/1/2023.

 

Please don’t ask DYS to patrol practices to see if you are coaching or not without these completed and know that these are for the benefit of the players we are coaching !!!

 

Any questions on how to complete this or what you have completed, please reach out to Lisa Farnham [email protected]
