Wear a hat and light, loose fitting clothing Use appropriate sunscreen and cool down with a spray bottle when you’re outside Avoid the hottest part of the day (usually between 11am - 3pm) Reduce the amount of time you exercise for Stop exercising if you start to feel unwell For more information you can refer to our hot weather guidelines https://bit.ly/3qcZj7Y Thank you to SA Recreation and Sport for the development of this fantastic infographic and for helping spread the word on keeping safe in the heat

08.01.2022 Recent research shows that face to face education programs on concussion for parents and coaches not only increases their knowledge of concussion but may also reduce negative health outcomes for youth athletes (i.e., number of head impacts and concussions) (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7216205/). Hence the importance of attending our Community Concussion Forums across South Australia over the next 12 months. The first two locked in are at The Lights Community... and Sports Centre and Central Oval, Port Augusta. Spread the word and encourage your coaches, parents and players to attend one of the Forums over the next few months.
