In Florida, children can easily become dehydrated while playing a sport or participating in any type of physical activity outdoors in hot conditions. Dehydration can make a child more susceptible to a heat-related illness, such as heat cramps, heat exhaustion, or heat stroke. Heat stroke is a severe heat related condition that can be life threatening, and heat exhaustion is serious and requires immediate attention, and may also become life threatening without immediate attention. After school sports programs, summer camps, and other recreational facilities or programs that offer outdoor activities or sports have a duty to use reasonable care in preventing heat related injuries, such as heat exhaustion or heat stroke. For instance, they should provide frequent water breaks and provide water for children that do not have enough, and allow kids to rest if they seem dehydrated or exhausted. If a child is injured due to the negligence of a recreational program's failure to use reasonable care in preventing heat related injuries, the parents of the child may bring a cause of action against recreational program.
