Tips for Coaches

Soccer players, coaches, trainers, referees and parents are constantly outdoors, most of the time in blazing sun. It is extremely important that everyone properly apply Blue Lizard Australian Sunscreen. For active players, we recommend our Sensitive formula has no chemicals or fragrance and therefore won't burn the eyes! We'd love to talk to you about team samples or our convenient team-sized bottle, a 1-gallon pump that's perfect for the locker room or sidelines.

Here are some tips on keeping your team protected from harmful UV rays:

• Schedule practices before 10 a.m. or after 3 p.m., to avoid the sun's strongest rays.
• Talk to them - your players look up to you. Explain how important sun protection is, and they just might listen.
• Speaking of that, be an example. Let them see you practicing sun-safe habits.
• Keep sunscreen on hand rather than leaving it up to the players. Blue Lizard's 1-gallon pump bottles will last through 150-200 applications.
• Get creative - bench them if they show up with a sunburn, offer incentives for players with no tan lines at the end of each month. Make them understand how important this is.
