Smash Extreme Heat Policy
Smash Volleyball believes in providing a safe environment for all athletes. When making decisions related to extreme heat conditions, the health and safety of participants/coaches is our greatest concern. Smash will contact parents (via email/text and post on http://www.smashvball.com/camps/ ) the day before to notify that a program will be cancelled. Sessions will be made up at a later date when possible.
Smash Extreme Heat Policy may be activated based on the following Environment Canada forecasts (https://weather.gc.ca/city/pages/bc-74_metric_e.html):
In the event the temperature is forecast to reach or exceed 32C or the humidex is forecast to reach or exceed 40C and Environment Canada indicates a humidex warning: afternoon outside camps will be cancelled.
In the event the temperature is forecast to reach or exceed 37C or the humidex is forecast to reach or exceed 45C and Environment Canada indicates a humidex warning: morning and afternoon outside camps will be cancelled.
Tips To Stay Safe During Summer Activity
Stay hydrated: Drink lots of water before, during and after activity.
Dress lightly: Wear light-colored loose-fitting clothing. Wear a hat and be sure to use
plenty of sunscreen.
Seek shade: During snack/water breaks, stay in a shady area.
