FHSAA Hydration and Rest Guidelines

• Rest time should involve both unlimited hydration intake and rest without any activity involved. 

• For every 30 minutes of practice, there must be at least a minimum five minute rest and hydration break.

• The area identified for rest should be considered a “cooling zone” and out of direct sunlight. This area can include ice sponges, cold immersion tubs and other cooling alternatives to facilitate the cooling process.

• Coaches should promote a heat injury prevention philosophy by promoting unrestricted access to water at all times without consequence.

• A student-athlete should never be denied access to water if he/she requests

• For sports utilizing helmets (i.e. lacrosse, baseball, softball and others), helmets should be removed during rest time.
