Montana heat rules for high school sports.
Montana publishes heat-acclimatization and excessive-heat resources but no complete statewide numeric table in the reviewed public page.
What coaches need to know
- MHSA tells schools to follow published heat-acclimatization guidance strictly, with extra vigilance during the first 3–4 days of transitions.
- The association urges practice and activity modifications before predicted heat waves.
- Heat precautions apply to all exposed participants, including marching band, cheer, and hot indoor gyms—not only football.
- The reviewed public page does not publish complete statewide numeric action bands; follow the school's adopted procedure.
No statewide numeric table is shown. The public source provides guidance without one complete operational action table, so PracticeCast does not invent thresholds.
