Health & Safety: Wet Bulb Globe Temperature adopted for 2024-25
IHSAA will shift heat-related guidance standards from Heat Index to Wet Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT) for the 2024-25 school year. NFHS and numerous
Per NFHS: “The WBGT device takes into account ambient temperature, humidity, wind speed, sun angle, direct sunlight and cloud cover. WBGT provides vital information for schools to use in helping school administration to determine if conditions are appropriate to hold activity programs during hot weather.”
In 2021-22, IHSAA previously distributed 100 complimentary WBGT devices to member schools via an NFHS Foundation grant. Further guidance will be shared with member schools and through sport administrators prior to fall sport seasons.
Soccer: Ejection reports reviewed
As a regular item within the Director of Officials report, the Board of Control reviewed ejections in spring sports, with soccer featuring 81 ejections through April 23 across the varsity, sub-varsity, and junior high levels. Varsity boys’ soccer has accounted for 65 of those ejections, only two of which were handballs.
The 2023 soccer season featured 106 total ejections, which included 10 handballs. The first playing date of the 2024 soccer season was Monday, March 25. The postseason begins May 13 (2A, 1A) and May 14 (4A, 3A) and concludes June 1.
“Topping 80 ejections in the first month of the season is extremely concerning,” IHSAA executive director Tom Keating said. “It will take a statewide effort of players, coaches, officials, and administrators to restore an acceptable level of sportsmanship to soccer this spring.”
Per the IHSAA’s soccer manual, any team receiving four varsity red cards — players or coaches — is not permitted to participate in the postseason.
