The LBJ High School football team gears up in practices before the start of their season in August. Because of the recent extreme summer heat, the team has had to make some changes in how they practice.

Coaches are preparing to bring their players back on the field.

"Things like making sure we hydrate ourselves, so you'll see guys walking around with empty milk jugs basically filled with water," said LBJ High School head football coach Joseph Rauls.Despite record-breaking high temperatures, some Austinites are tolerating the heat and continuing to be active outside.

The summer heat is not going anywhere for a while. Rauls says they will be cautious with the outside temperatures and give their players more breaks when needed. "Things we try to do is make sure that anything we can get done inside that we get inside, and so basically we're not exposed to the elements of outside," he said."Once we step outside, making sure that we have out stations where we have water available, we even set up tents and A/C units outside to basically keep our players cool," Rauls said.
