Cold Weather - Dress up WARM November 24, 2007

Posted by editor in : Uncategorized, Matches , trackback

Today at the Hailsham match one thing came to light that needs an urgent reminder for Parents.

Please dress the players in multiple layers of clothes, thermal underwear and socks, hat and gloves as well as the tracksuit and jacket.

Waterproofing the players boots will also stop their feet from getting wet and cold.

It’s far easier to remove layers of clothing when hot, rather than try to warm up or keep warm from (very) cold.

If a players body temperature drops significantly, they will find it extremely difficult to warm up again unless they go into a warm enviroment.

If they are Subs this is even more vital.

Some players were noticeably struggling today and their normal performance wasn’t there.
