The Florida Youth Soccer Association has a responsibility to the players within our association to make sure they are playing in a safe environment. One of the dynamics of our state is that it’s a hot and humid climate. Our climate can create a dangerous situation for heat illnesses (i.e. heat cramps, heat exhaustion, and heat stroke). Based on our situation, we must ensure that our players are properly acclimated, hydrated, and, after the match, re-hydrated in order to make sure that our players are able to function in the environment that is Florida soccer.
