Heat Illness Prevention Checklist cover
Free · 9 Pages
What's Inside

A field-ready system, not another PDF you'll never open.

Every page is built for the sideline binder. Print the pages you need; the rest is reference material your coaching staff can review before the season starts.

01

The Five Pillars of Prevention

The KSI prevention framework — acclimatization, hydration, cooling, recognition, modification — distilled to one page.

02

Pre-Season Acclimatization Plan

The NATA 10–14 day schedule plus a pre-season readiness checklist. Highest-risk window, covered.

03

Daily Practice Checklist

Before / during / after. Print it. Keep it in the binder. Use it every practice in hot weather.

04

WBGT Activity Chart

Color-coded intensity, equipment, and rest-break guidance for every weather band.

05

Field Recognition Guide

Side-by-side comparison of heat cramps, heat exhaustion, and exertional heat stroke — with the response for each.

06

Cool First, Transport Second

The seven-step emergency response protocol that survives the 30-minute window that decides outcomes.

07

Emergency Action Plan Worksheet

Fillable EAP for every venue. Print, fill, post in the binder before the season starts.

08

Full Citations Included

Every protocol is cited. Hand it to your AD, your athletic trainer, or your parents — it stands up to scrutiny.

Built From The Best Sources In Sports Medicine

Not opinion. Published consensus.

Every protocol in this checklist is grounded in peer-reviewed consensus statements from the organizations that set the standard for exertional heat illness prevention and emergency response in the U.S.

Korey Stringer Institute (UCONN) The leading U.S. research center for exertional heat illness in sport.
National Athletic Trainers' Association Consensus Statement on Preseason Heat-Acclimatization (Casa & Csillan, 2009) — the basis for nearly every state HS heat policy.
American College of Sports Medicine Position Stand on Exertional Heat Illness During Training and Competition (Armstrong et al., 2007).
National Association of EMS Physicians Joint Consensus on Prehospital Care of Exertional Heat Stroke (Belval et al., 2018) — the 'Cool First, Transport Second' protocol.
