Heat stress from overexposure to the sun experienced by school footballers as they practice in the hot summer months is becoming more and more of a concern. A free standing awning on football sidelines could help reduce overexposure by providing children with awnings where they can congregate during breaks. Commercial canopies dotted around your football fields will give football coaches the ability to respond to signs of heat stress by quickly taking children under the gazebo canopies where they could immediately get refreshed and temperature cool down.
