Recreational sports activities for children are a great way to stay active and have fun.

A municipality may be held liable for injuries occurring to a child during a recreational center's sports program due to heat exhaustion or heat stroke. Municipalities that offer sports, summer camps, and other outdoor activities or sports have a duty to use reasonable care in preventing heat related injuries, such as heat exhaustion or heat stroke.
