The TAPPS office shares your excitement and anticipation for the start of the 2026 season. Below is some important information related to practices and safety to consider as you make your final preparations for summer practices:
1. Wet Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT) – In an effort to improve student safety TAPPS is moving from the use of heat index measurements to the use of Wet Bulb Globe Temperature Activity Guidelines beginning with the 2026-27 academic year. The link below provides greater detail.
