Anyone who has seen a weather report would know that we are getting an early taste of Summer weather this week.

With temperatures on Monday and Tuesday tipped to soar into the mid-30s, it is a timely reminder of good habits when playing sport in the heat before Summer rolls on in ernest.

- Plenty of water before, during and after you play.

- Bring a sub or two so everyone gets a rest.

- Use your timeouts (referees will call a timeout around the nine minute mark of each half during heat rules).

- In Junior Competitions, coaches should be aware of the players' welfare and make appropriate adjustments to ensure players receive adequate rest and drink.
