Heat index values are the combination of outside temperature and relative humidity. High heat index values prevent the body from regulating its core temperature and may lead to overheating. You can determine the Heat Index from the link below.
No practice or game will be canceled prior to the scheduled start time due to heat index. Coaches and players should show up as normal and if the decision is made to cancel the event they will receive notification once they arrive.

Determining Heat Index
We will rely on the National Weather Service forecast office in Louisville for official heat index readings. There have been issues before with different resources providing different information.This information will be used to determine whether or not practice/game will take place. This provider was updated on 07/26/13 due to the former site no longer reporting detailed information.
