Hazardous Weather Seminars For Sports and Recreation

Every year athletic events and participants are challenged by hazardous weather events. We have seen entire college football teams affected by lightning strikes. Hazardous weather events have resulted in deaths and injuries to players, coaches and spectators.

Our hazardous weather seminars and training sessions are designed to provide coaches, officials, facility staff and other decision makers information that allows them to make the right call in a timely manner when hazardous weather threatens their area.

Your session will be taught by Randy Jackson, a Certified Lightning Safety Professional and 25 year meteorologist. Material is presented in a multi-media format, is easy to understand and will provide important insights in understanding hazardous weather. This program is perfect for park district recreational programs, middle and high schools, colleges and universities and professional sports.

Our programs have been presented to numerous interests including:

  • Conference USA football officials

  • Southern Conference

  • Appalachian State University Athletic Department

  • Joint Session of North and South Carolina Parks and Recreation Departments

  • Southwest Guilford High School, Guilford County, North Carolina
