Heatstroke Prevention Measures for Interactions and Practice Observations During the Summer Period

Notice from the club

For the 2026/27 season as well, in order to ensure safety during interactions and manage players' health at Kodaira Ground, training camps, and other locations during the summer period, we will operate the content of interactions according to the weather conditions related to heat and severe weather, such as when heatstroke warning alerts are issued, as described below.
We appreciate your understanding and cooperation.

□Primary Decision the Day Before the Interaction Event

If a special heatstroke alert or heatstroke warning alert is issued for Tokyo or the area where practice is held on the day before the interaction event, as announced on the Ministry of the Environment's "Heatstroke Prevention Information Site," all interaction activities will, in principle, be canceled. Additionally, on practice open days, only the practice viewing may be conducted.
* Even if the event is not canceled at the time of the primary decision, if the WBGT measuring device at the venue reads 'WBGT 31 or higher (danger)' on the day of practice, the practice viewing will be canceled at that time.

□Secondary Decision on the Day of Interaction

Restrictions will be imposed as follows based on the heat index (WBGT) at the end of practice.
* Judgments will be made using the WBGT measuring device installed at the practice venue.
* Depending on the player's condition adjustment and schedule, they may not be able to respond. Please understand that interaction is not guaranteed, and we ask for your understanding when attending.
