My daughter just starting playing up a few months ago and is all of a sudden playing on Artificial Turf at times. She played 2 games yesterday and 1 game today. She woke up this morning and her feet were sore. I thought I would buy her those Scholls inserts.
After her game today that was at 11:00 when the air temperature was 83 degrees, she was having some minor symptoms of heat exhaustion. She also complained about her feet being really hot. While she had to be somewhat active diving to save many balls, it wasn't as much as Keeper training on a hot day. I know the Turf is much hotter than air temp. so I figure the issue has to do with standing in one place for periods of time. She has already recovered but I am concerned as she will be playing in much hotter temps. in the coming months.
It seems like Keepers would struggle with it more than other players which is why I am asking Keeper parents if they have recommendations on the best cleats to insulate her from the turf heat and/or any other suggestions learned along the way?
