JHSAA approves revised heat policy
Wet-bulb thresholds replace temperature readings for practice and contest modifications, effective with the spring season.
The revised policy sets modification and cancellation thresholds by wet-bulb globe temperature, measured on site, in place of the air temperature standard in effect since 2019.
Schools receive monitoring equipment through a grant program funded with the association's sports-medicine partners.
Athletic directors complete the updated training module before spring practices begin.
