How to Stay Cool and Safe While Playing Volleyball in Summer Heat

Playing volleyball under the sun is always a good time—especially when you’re at a scenic spot like Kite Beach. But with the UAE’s summer heat, staying cool and safe becomes just as important as serving that perfect ace. Whether you're training with your volleyball academy, attending a kids’ summer camp, or just enjoying a casual match, here are some easy and practical volleyball tips to help you beat the heat and enjoy the game.

Play Smart: Choose the Right Time of Day

To stay cooler on the court, try planning your game during the early morning or late afternoon when temperatures are more manageable. You can still enjoy playing even in the summer heat, just be sure to pace yourself and take proper precautions.

Hydrate Like a Pro

Water is your best teammate. Stay hydrated before, during, and after your game to prevent fatigue and heat exhaustion.

Dress to Stay Cool

Lightweight, breathable clothing keeps your body temperature in check. Don’t forget sunscreen, a hat, and shades for added protection.

Take Breaks in the Shade

Between sets or drills, rest in shaded spots to cool down and recharge before jumping back into the game.

Know the Signs of Heat Stress

Listen to your body. If you feel dizzy or lightheaded, pause and cool off immediately. Safety always comes first.

Summer Fun for Kids, Done Right
