A Coach or Referee can set a water break when the temperature at kick-off time is over 28 degrees Celsius or humidex estimated over 30 degrees Celsius before kick-off time.

The VUSL mandates water breaks at approximately the quarters of game time when the temperature exceeds 34 degrees Celsius or humidex of 36 degrees Celsius.

Coaches/parents/players must wait 24 hours before approaching the League with concerns regarding any concerns. This is to provide time to “cool down” and be able to look at events with a fresh perspective the next day.
