Of course, heat and sun will be a big factor, so players should be prepared. Hydration is essential. A good hydration regimen is important, it should start the night before. And during the day of the tourney, players should drink plenty of water and seek out the shade when not playing. Also, players should wear sand socks to protect their feet, and they should use plenty of sunblock to protect their skin.
Health Services
If you encounter any health issues, Doctors of Physical Therapy will be on site. DPT provides our Lisle community with one-on-one, expert clinical care. They will be able to assist with any physical problems that arise during the course of the day. In addition to the normal scrapes, bruises and sprains associated with volleyball, outdoor volleyball has its own hazards. Everyone must be especially vigilant for early signs of heat stroke.
