District of Columbia heat rules for high school sports.
District athletics materials address heat-index monitoring, hydration, high-risk athletes, and heat-emergency response. Use the current school/DCIAA protocol for exact triggers.
What coaches need to know
- DCPS athletics materials describe hydration breaks based on heat-index readings.
- Athletes at higher risk for heat illness are to be identified and monitored carefully.
- Football heat-emergency procedures include monitoring for early signs of heat stress or heat exhaustion.
- The reviewed current public record does not provide the complete DCSAA numeric table; follow the school's current DCIAA/DCSAA handbook and athletic-trainer direction.
No statewide numeric table is shown. The public source provides guidance without one complete operational action table, so PracticeCast does not invent thresholds.
