Due to playing in California, it is inevitable that our soccer teams will encounter hot temperatures and challenging AQI conditions on the practice and game fields. Ultimately, it is a parent’s decision whether or not to allow his or her son or daughter to participate in a practice or game. Soccer is a choice, and we want all the children to have fun and be safe!

As some general precautions:

• To check the AQI, please go to www.purpleair.com, click Map, and enter Granite Bay, CA 95746.
• AQI Guidelines:
  • 150 or worse: Practices and games are canceled.
  • 125-150: Strongly suggest practices are canceled, but at discretion of coach.
  • All other ranges: At discretion of coach.
  • Away games: At discretion of away team league officials.
• Coaches will make sure to take multiple water breaks during games and practices and attempt to use shaded areas whenever possible.
• During extreme heat, coaches will do the best they can to not have extensive running drills without breaks.
• Adjustments to games will be at the discretion of the league officials operating the game – officials, etc.
