2014-First Game of the season..

Labor Day weekend opened up the official first game of the season for Pop Warner Football and Cheer.. Pop Warner is grouped by weight and age for the football players and only age for the cheer leaders.  My daughter cheers for the Mighty Mites while my son plays football for Junior Pee Wee league.  Standing or sitting out in the Florida sunshine was VERY HOT! 

We have a good group of volunteer coaches and parents that ensure the children drink PLENTY of water while they are practicing, or even playing games. 

Meanwhile the parents should have the same acknowledgement when it comes to watching these children and teenagers play sports.  Someone had to call EVAC/Emergency Medical Services because a parent suffered from heat exhaustion.  The Paramedics took vital signs, gave her oxygen and hydrated her with water.  Afterwards, she was alert and did not have to be transported to the hospital.  

For those of you who have children in sports, take advantage of the water supply we are provided and DRINK PLENTY OF WATER while out in the summer heat!
