You are coaching a recreational soccer team practicing outdoors in high heat. Which weekly practice plan best balances safety and skill work to prevent heat-related illness?

Early‑morning 3×60 min, moderate small‑sided drills, 5‑min shade/rest + hydration every 12 min, no full scrimmages until acclimatized, coach monitoring.

Four 90‑min late‑afternoon sessions, one 10‑min mid‑session water break, occasional high‑intensity scrimmages, passive hydration advice.

Three 45‑min evening sessions with intervals + full scrimmage each session, only two short (2–3 min) water breaks.

Three 75‑min morning sessions, shaded stations, 3–5 min breaks every 15 min, lower intensity, gradual increase over first 10 days.
