Do football and speed camps worry you?
Does the heat and pollution stress you out when your kids are doing pre-season workouts?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Parkview High School wraps up its pre-season football workouts today with a Speed Ball Tourney. Now, I don’t know exactly what that means, but it sounds hot enough to make some kids consider switching to an indoor sport.
I’m sure Parkview and the other Georgia schools are doing their best to protect their students and keep them hydrated. However, when you see even professional players die from the heat, it makes me wonder if parents are still worried about summer practices in Georgia.
As an extra problem for the coaches many of the last few days have been code red pollution days.
Do you worry about your children working out in extreme heat and breathing in bad air? What types of precautions do you take to help protect your teens during summer and early fall workouts? What types of precautions are the schools taking to help protect your kids?
