Please note that all children are required to bring along a drink bottle to training, preferably containing cold water, even on the colder nights.
For the warmer months, generally during February-April, if the day’s temperature has reached a top of 36 degrees, there will be no training. This is a decision that the Committee has not taken lightly and understand that children would like to train, no matter what the weather may be. Melton Phoenix FC uses the guidelines from Sports Medicine Australia for it’s heat policy.
