Athletics Weather Protocols
In order to ensure the safety of our student-athletes and programs, The Office of Sports Administration (OSA) wants to advise all programs on key weather related information as it relates to your programs, practices and games.
HEAT:
Should there be extreme heat forecasted, please review the official IHSA Guidance On Heat, Hydration and Performance and the CPS Inclement Weather Policy and adjust your programs accordingly. OSA will be in contact should any of these weather conditions impact game schedules.

AIR QUALITY ALERT:
Should there be poor air quality in the area, please follow this guidance provided by the CPS Office of Student Health and Wellness (OSHW) and the Chicago Department of Public Health (CDPH). They have collaborated and provided this reference published by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
Air Quality and Outdoor Activity Guidance for Schools
**Football Note – Should poor air quality force practice to be conducted indoors, those practices will still COUNT as it relates to acclimation.
INCLEMENT WEATHER:
Should there be any other severe weather conditions that impact games or practices, please refer to the official guidance from the IHSA and CPS linked below.
Thank you as always for your support of our student-athletes and programs.
