Wear sunscreen continued
• Sunscreen should be worn year round
when you will be out in the sun
• You need to put on sunscreen about
30 minutes before you will be going
outside in the sun
• Even though your sunscreen says it is
waterproof, you still need to put more
on every two hours and if you are
sweating a lot, swimming, or toweling
off
• Tell your coach if you don’t have
sunscreen on and you will be in the sun

Protect your lips
• Lip balm will protect your lips when you
are outside in the sun
• Lip balm also has an SPF label on it
• Use lip balm with an SPF of 15 or higher,
just like your sunscreen

Cover Up!
• With cool, protective clothing
• With a wide-brimmed hat
• Wear sunglasses that block UV rays

Avoid Midday Sun
• Stay in the shade or inside between 10
am and 4 pm when the sun’s rays are the
strongest

Find Shade Often When Outside in the Sun
• Like under a shade tent or tree

Don’t Use Tanning Beds!

Stay Hydrated in the Sun
• You should drink plenty of water before
you go out in the sun, while you are in the
sun and after you have been in the sun
