We encourage people of all ages to employ sun safe practices while out enjoying the outdoors.

 

As a club we:

 

• Erect two gazebos every morning on game day for spectators and game officials.

• Schedule training for late in the afternoon to limit UV exposure.

• Schedule our youth games early in the morning to limit sun exposure 

• Have enclosed dugouts that the teams use to stay out of the sun when not on the field.

• Provide hats with enrolment in the club which are expected for game days.

• Provide uniform tops that have sleeves for sun protection and are made of a material that helps keep players cool.

• Encourage the use of sunscreen and reapplication.

 

Other measures that are taken but not enforced:

 

• We encourage wearing long pants.

• We encourage sunglasses.

• We have easy access to water with water coolers in each dugout as well as a tap by the restrooms.
