HEAT STROKE - an aclüe medical emergency related to thermo-regulatory failure. Associated with nausea, seizures, disorientcttion,
and possible unconsciousness or coma. It may occur suddenly without being preceded by any other clinical signs. The indiviùnl is
usually Ltnconscious with a high body temperature and hot dry skin (heat stroke victims, contrcuy to popular belief, may sweat
profttsely).
It
is believed thqt the above-mentioned heat stress problems can be controlled provided certain precautions are taken. According to
the American Academy of Pediatrics Committee on Sports Medicine, heat related illnesses are all preventable. (Sports Medicine:
Health Care for Young Athletes, American Academy of Pediatrics, l99l) The following practices and precctutions are recommended:
1.
a physical examination with a medical history whenfirst entering a program and an annual health
history updale. History of previotts heat illness and type of training activities beþre organized practice begins should be
included. Stale high school associations recommendations should befollowed.
Each athlele should have

perþrmance

CONDITION of their athletes and set practice schedtiles accordingly.
3.
Along with physical condítioning the factor of acclimatization to heat is important. Acclimatization is the process of becoming
adjtrsted to heat qnd it is essential to provide for GRADUAL ACCLIMATIZATION TO HOT WEATHER. It is necessary for an
athlete to exercise in the hecrt if he/she is to become acclimatized to it. It is suggested that a graduated physical conditíoning
progrem be used and that 8096 acclimatization can be expected to occur after thefirst 7-10 days. Final stages ofacclimatization
to heat are marked by increased sweating cmd reduced salt concentration in the sweat.
4.
The old idea that water should be withheld from athletes during workouts hc¿s NO SCIENTIFIC FOUNDATION. The most
important safeguard to the health of the athlete is the replacement of water. llater must be on the field ond readily available to
the ethletes at all times. It is recommended that a minimum l)-minute water break be scheduled for every half hour of heavy
exercise in the heat. Athletes should rest in a shaded area during the break. WATER SHOULD BE AVAILABLE IN
UNLIMITED QUANTITIES. Check and be sure athletes are drinking the water. Cold water is preferable. Drinking ample
water beþre practice or games has also been þttnd to aid perþrmance in the heat.
J.
Salt should be replaced daily. Modest salting offoods ctfter practice of gctmes will accomplish this purpose. Salt tablets are not
recommended. ATTENTION MUST BE DIRECTED TO fuEPLACING WATER - FLUID REPLACEMENT IS ESSENTIAL.
6.
Know both the TEMPERATURE and HUMIDIW. The greater the humidity the more dfficult it is for the body to cool itself.
Test the air prior to practice or game using a wet bulb, globe, temperature index (ltrtBGT index) which is based on the combined
effects of air temperature, relative humidity, radiant heat, and air movement. The follotving precctutions are reconlmended when
using the IIBGT Index: (ACSM's Guidelines for the Teqm Physician, I 99 I )

One other method of measuring the relative humidity is the use of a sling psychrometer, which measures wel bulb temperature.

Coolíng by evaporation is proportional to the area of the skin exposed. In extremely hot and humid weather, reduce the amount
of clothing covering the body as much as possible. NEVER USE RUBBEfuIZED CLOTHING.
8.
Athletes should weigh each day beþre and after practice and ILEIGHT CHARTS CHECKED. Generally a 39ó weight loss
through sweating is safe and over a 3%oweight loss ís in the danger zone. Over a 3?í, weight loss the athlete should not be
allowed to practice ín hot and humid conditions. Obsewe the athletes closely under all condilions.
9.
Observe athletes carefully for signs of trouble, partiailarly athletes who lose much weight and the eager athlete who constantly
competes at his/her capacity. Some trouble signs are nausea, incoherence, fotigue, weakness, vomiting, cramps, weak rapid
pulse, visual disturbqnce, and unsteadiness.

SUMMARY: The main problem associated with exercising in the hot wectther is water loss through sweating. Il/ater loss is best
replaced by allowing the athlete unrestricted access to water. lí/ater breaks two or three times every hour are better than one
break an hour. The small amount of salt lost in sweat is adequately replaced by saltingfood at meals. Talk to your medical
personnel concerning emergency treatment plans.

There has been a language change to the NYSPHSAA Handbook, under
Sportsmanship.
Eligibility Standard#27
-
In May 2009, the NYSPHSAA Executive Committee voted to approve a language change in the Sportsmanship
Standard, which will now read as follows, "A coach or player who receives a disqualification penalty during a
contest shall not participate in the next regularly scheduled contest". The same language change was made for
#2 and #3 of the Sportsmanship Standard.
The rationale for the recommendation by the Sportsmanship Committee was to address the situations where a
coach or student athlete may receive more than one disqualification penalty in the same game. The committee
does not intend to change the rules or the proper protocols established by the sport rule book. The expectation
is that officials will continue to handle unsportsmanlike behavior in a manner established by the rule book,
approved by the NYSPHSAA for each sport.
There ís ø new definitíonfor ø suimmage (May 2010)
A Varsity or Junior Varsity soccer scrimmage may not exceed a total of 100 minutes per team per day.
Unlimited substitutions are permitted. The length of time for the periods of play is to be determined by the
coaches, not to exceed 40 minutes in any one period: halves, three periods or quarters. Scoreboards may be used
for timekeeping only. The clock will begin with the goalkeeper in possession of the ball. When a goal is scored,
play will be restarted with goalie possession. The goalie may restart play with a goal kick, goalie throw or
goalie punt. A modified scrimmage is
a
maximum of 70 minutes per team per day.

co-champions would be declared after the two sudden victory overtime periods. (May 2008)
Girls Overtime Procedure:
Regular season games would have two 40 minute halves followed by two mandatory 10 minute fully played overtimes. In
Sectional and State Toumament play, the overtimes would be two 10 minute periods of full play followed by two 5 minute sudden
victory overtime periods, if needed. Co-champions would be declared in the State Championship game if the tie was not broken
after the two 5 minute sudden victory overtimes. (May 2008)

Yellow Card Accumulation policy:
It is the intention of the NYSPHSAA Sportsmanship committee to address
the issue of the accumulation of yellow cards during
the soccer season by an individual player or coach. All situations regarding
Red cards are dealt with directly under the
NYSPHSAA Guidelines for Sportsmanship and Misconducts outfinãd
in the state Handbook for all sports. The consequences for
the accumulation of excessive yelrow cards will be as follows:
1'
Five Yellow cards accumulated by a single player or coach in the regular
season will result in a one game

Player equipment (200l. )
There has been a subtle but significant change in the administration
of the soccer match; in that, the Head coach will be
responsible for ensuring that each of his/her players is properly equipped,
the officials íin no longer check equipment prior to the
start of the game' If a player is sent off the nèl¿-as not being ptopàrty
it will result in a yellow card for the Head coach,
if a second player is then sent off for the same reason the player *itt t""quipped

would result in a Red card being issued. The Head coach would be ejected
fromthe game and would not be able to coach the
next scheduled contest' It is very important that each coach be aware
of this change ui¿ th" adverse effects it could have.
