PIAA heat protocol
Written by: David Mika on Tuesday, August 6th, 2013. Follow David Mika on Twitter.
High school football teams across Eastern Pennsylvania get to kick off the practice early this year. That’s because the PIAA is implementing a mandatory pre-season Heat period for teams. Teams have the option of using the three-day period this week or Monday, Aug. 12, the beginning of the fall practice season.
The program restricts the length of practices and calls for a minimum two-hour rest period between sessions so players’ bodies can adjust to the August heat and humidity.
