Colorado heat rules for high school sports.

Colorado publishes a CHSAA heat-acclimatization position statement, but the reviewed public source does not provide a statewide numeric forecast-action table.

What coaches need to know

  • CHSAA publishes a Heat Acclimatization and Heat Illness Prevention position statement through its sports-medicine program.
  • The guidance centers on gradual acclimatization, hydration, recognition, and emergency preparation.
  • Coaches should adjust activity when heat and humidity increase and monitor higher-risk athletes closely.
  • The reviewed public statement does not provide a complete Colorado numeric action table; follow the school or district plan.
No statewide numeric table is shown. The public source provides guidance without one complete operational action table, so PracticeCast does not invent thresholds.
