Playing in hot weather
Hot weather is forecast for this coming weekend (13-14 August) when UKU Regionals will take place in Edenbridge and Manchester (click links for MET Office forecasts). Please ensure that you consider extra precautions which could include the following:
Minimum 2 x 1 litre reusable water bottles (to be refilled throughout the day) - please check the schedule and consider bringing more if you have back-to-back games
Additional fluids
High factor sun cream
Hats
Small towels which can be soaked in water
Water spray bottles
Additional shade such as umbrellas or small tents*
More general information around playing safely can be found here. If you have your own team trainings during hot weather, you may want to advise some of the above.
*Please note, any tents or umbrellas must be a safe distance (min 3 meters) from all side lines. If tournament staff (or indeed anyone) asks you to move your belongings due to safety, please be kind and find a safer spot for your stuff.
