Cancelling Practices due to heat

Jackson-Madison County is having to cancel football practices if there is a heat advisory. Are any other schools having to do this??

How much have been able to practice? Did their school board make that decision?

The decision was made on Thursday - It rained Friday and cooled things down enough to practice, but next weeks looks hot again. Superintendent made decision, as far as I know it was a ruling she made on her own. Everyone is wondering how much practice time we can get in now and if she will let us play jamboree on Friday

THAT DECISION SHOULD BE MADE BY MEDICAL PERSONNEL, NOT SOME SKIRT IN AN OFFICE WITH A.C.

Bleacher--You were doing great. The comma should have been a period. Remember, sometimes it is better to be quiet and considered neanderthal than to keep typing and remove all doubt.

Wife's family lives in southern Indiana, and my mother-in-law said that the schools system there enacted a rule to where practice could not be after 10 am and not before 7 pm I believe.

Why are they canceling practice? It's gonna be hot on friday night too. I can understand the problem with overheating, but I mean you can always resolve that by giving more & more waterbreaks... Can't you?

I would go for that. Rumor is that the superintendent has been checking practice fields to make sure nobody is practicing when there is a heat advisory. I think this goes for all of our sports practing outside...I've heard some soccer people talking about their practices being cancelled too.

Of course, now we have the disadvantage of other schools - being ready is going to be a challenge now. At least we don't play week 0 this year, but we have in the past.

What ever it takes for the kids! It is hot and remember drink lots of water and Gatorade.

If they really cared about the players, they would back up the season start dates for three weeks, shorten the playoffs to only #1 and #2 in region advance, and make less playoff money, oops, there lies the true dilemma ... money or safety!

And the T$$AA wants more money.
