Football teams in Central Texas are returning to the field, and with that comes the challenge of practicing in extreme summer heat. Coaches and athletes must prepare for this heat, in addition to their regular competition preparation. The University Interscholastic League has implemented new heat rules aimed at keeping student-athletes safe during summer practices.

Further details on these new rules and how they will be implemented are available from the source, KXAN, for those looking for more information on the measures being taken to protect Texas student-athletes.
