Key takeaway Further information on how local teams are adapting to the new requirements can be found in the Denton Record-Chronicle.
North Texas high school football teams are adjusting to new heat safety requirements set by the UIL. Programs that have indoor practice facilities appear to have an advantage in this situation. These facilities allow teams to practice without being affected by the heat.
On the other hand, smaller schools that do not have indoor facilities are having to make adjustments as they go, often on short notice. Further information on how local teams are adapting to the new requirements can be found in the Denton Record-Chronicle.
