If lightning is present within a dangerous radius during an outdoor event, all parties must be moved indoors. The event may only be resumed if 30 minutes have passed since the last visual evidence of lightning.
For outdoor practices, heat and humidity are closely monitored. When possible, practices and training are scheduled for the coolest times of the day. Precautions with outdoor practices and training are to be taken when the heat index reaches 95 degrees. These precautions include mandatory water breaks every 30 minutes for 10 minutes duration, removal of helmets and other equipment while not involved in contact and providing ice-down towels for cooling. Other precautions may include postponing practice and training to later in the day as well as reducing the time of outdoor training and practices. When the heat index reaches 95 degrees, it must be re-checked every 30 minutes. If the heat index reaches 104 degrees, all outdoor practices and training must stop. Athletes must be watched and monitored closely for heat-related illnesses at all times.
