KEEP YOUR KIDS HYDRATED

Tips On Preventing Heat Illnesses

When you are watching sports, have you noticed that the first thing that the players do when they have a break is get something to drink? They drink every chance they get throughout the game. That's how important proper hydration is to safety and athletic performance.

Proper hydration is as important to athletic safety as any protective equipment. In fact, heat illnesses are among the most dangerous sports injuries, and some of the most preventable. AYSO has some tips on how to make sure your soccer player remains adequately hydrated. While proper hydration is always important, it is something to pay particular attention to as we roll into the summer months, especially in areas of increased humidity.

Did you know that when you are thirsty, you are already dehydrated?

"Your body can't keep up with the loss of fluids," according to Herbalife's Vice President of Medical Affairs and Education, Dr. Luigi Gratton. Your body has thirst indicators, and when you are thirsty-your body is telling you that you are already dehydrated.

Did you know there are two types of fluid loss?

One type of fluid loss is "sensible" fluid loss. That is losing fluids through sweat and urine. A second type of fluid loss is "insensible" fluid loss, which is losing fluids through breathing. "The water gets broken down into CO2, and you breathe it out, so during exercise your lungs blow out a lot of fluid you don't see. Parents will say their kid isn't sweating a lot and she hasn't had to use the bathroom, so she isn't losing any fluids. Not true. She is actually losing a tremendous amount of fluids," Dr. Luigi explains.

About AYSO

AYSO is a 100% volunteer organization. Without Coaches, Referees, Board members, and all the other types of volunteers, our organization could not exist. Becoming involved in your child’s activities is a rewarding experience that will have lasting memories of a lifetime. We offer comprehensive training for beginning coaches and referees to assist in making your involvement an easy transition. We provide you with the basic knowledge to develop the children’s soccer skills and have knowledgeable instructors to teach you about the laws of the game. We’re always looking for new volunteers. We know keeping a strong base of volunteers directly relates to the quality of our program. That’s why we need you! See the calendar about classes offered and the times offered. Ask you coach how you can become more involved.

We need to ensure that all volunteers fills out a new volunteer form and goes through the Safe Haven class (for your protection) and that all Volunteers are aware of the law changes in effect. Those returning volunteers do not need to take Safe Haven again; however we do need a fresh signature, so if you have not signed this year’s volunteer form, please get with a board member to assist in that update. For new referees, please check for the Referee Clinics, and for the returning referees check for the Returning Referee Class in our calendar.

We also would like to welcome any unique expertise that you as a parent may have. There are many other ways to volunteer with AYSO 503 other than as a Coach or Referee. Examples include those who have experience with:

• Advertising
• Graphics Design
• Web Design
• Communications • Clerical
• Physical Fitness
• Nutrition
• Photography • Auctions
• Food Services
• Retail
• And Many More
