HOT WEATHER Policy    www.netballmarleston.com
Management are well aware of the discomfort hot weather brings while playing netball and leagueball and we take steps to ensure that such discomfort is kept to a minimum.
For example, we have more ‘time-outs’ called by umpires/team captains for drinks. Encourage the use of more substitute players.   Parents and coaches can also help by ensuring that all players keep up their fluid levels; before, during and after they participate.
If temperature is 35C at 6pm – 7pm games will play at 720pm and 750pm games at 810pm.
The games - may be cancelled - by Marleston –  if temperature at 36 degrees C or greater at 6pm - for  -   Adelaide Airport   -  according to Bureau of Meteorology  (Adelaide Airport)  - or SAFM radio station  http://www.bom.gov.au/products/IDS60901/IDS60901.94672.shtml
PLEASE NOTE: If games are to be cancelled, the supervisor will telephone each teams’ secretary to cancel games.
This Policy has been developed taking into consideration the following:
Sports Medicine Australia guidelines;Â Â We operate in an outdoor environment;Â Drinking water is available in the Canteen; The programs are generally not held during the hottest part of the day (11am-3pm); Duration and intensity of the activity.
