HEAT POLICY
With the current burst of warm summer weather, it is timely to remind everyone with regards to BSA's Hot Weather Policy available here -
PLEASE NOTE THIS POLICY ALSO APPLIES TO ANY CLUB TRAINING AND INDIVIDUAL COACHING/TRAINING SESSION.
There are several measures included to determine what is extreme heat, but the simplest measure is, (and please refer to the entire policy) that if the predicted temperature is 38 degrees or above, (as published on the BOM website), all basketball activity (in non air-conditioned facilities) should be cancelled.
A short excerpt form BSA's policy re cancellation of games -
"Basketball SA reserves the right to cancel games due to situations of extreme heat or catastrophic fire rating (where games held in affected locations).
Basketball SA will use the following information to determine if conditions are considered extreme heat:
• Temperature readings within stadiums
• Predicted daytime temperature as published on the BoM website for Adelaide being 38 degrees or higher
• Predicted game time temperature as published on the BoM website for Adelaide
• Actual temperature over preceding days (ie. For potential heat build-up in stadiums)
Decisions are at the sole discretion of Basketball SA.
Cancellations will be posted on the Basketball SA website
and Facebook page by 12 noon on game day, or 5pm Friday night for Saturday morning games."
