Tucson Umpire

It is never any fun working during the monsoon season here in Tucson. While Phoenix does have higher temps they are also usually a little drier. I drink the yogurt drinks, eat bananas and stay hydrated with Gatorade and lots of water. During the HS season it is rarely a problem but during the summer ball and club ball and then devoting some time to LL, yes LL, it is very important to your health to know how to stay properly hydrated.
I have State Championships for LL junior division next week here in Tucson and I am ready for the temps and humidity. Proper attire is Under Armour, Nike or some other type of moisture wicking under garment...very important for comfort.
Stay cool and healthy.

Long sleeves?

The greatest risk may be skin cancer.
Would long sleeves be justified or are long sleeves discouraged in favor of sunscreen?

Just load up on a high SPF sublock, one that blocks both UVA and UVB rays.

Long sleeves

I have a couple of sets of long sleeve UA undershirts. They keep you cool and protect you from the sun. Always remember to use sunscreen on the exposed areas of you neck and face.
