South Dakota heat rules for high school sports.
South Dakota publishes heat-illness, heat-index, and WBGT resources but leaves the operational call to the current school procedure.
What coaches need to know
- SDHSAA publishes heat-related illness information for member schools.
- Its official resource page includes both a heat-index lookup and WBGT guidance.
- The association also provides a free Heat Illness Prevention course.
- The reviewed public page does not present a complete statewide numeric action table; 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.
