At the Florida Tech summer tennis camp, youngsters are out on the court practicing their forehands, backhands and lob shots even during the extended heat spell.
Weather experts said the heat index has broken the 100-degree mark for 12 straight days in a row.
"Sometimes the court temperature can reach 100 degrees," said Bill Macom, the Florida Tech tennis coach who is running the camp.
While kids are eagerly running around, getting them off the court is important for Coach Macom.
Before grabbing a racket they lather on sunscreen. Then once they are out there he and his helpers make sure the children take plenty of breaks and get out of the sun.
"We've got a little bit of shade out here with the benches, so we go about 10-12 minutes and we are back off the courts for a water break," said the coach.
"Yes, my belly is full of water. But it's ok because you can get dehydrated and you can faint," said Adele Menezes, an 11-year-old camp participant.
The kids also avoid those sugary drinks, while in the heat.
Ricky Coop, 12, loves to play, but knows when to rest and cool down. And avoid things that can speed up dehydration.
"Don't drink carbonated drinks because it's not going to help you as much," said Ricky.
The best part is the ultimate cool off after the camp is done for the day.
"They let you go into the pool afterwards because you're all sweaty and icky," Adele said.
The group also stays in touch with the school's athletic training room -- monitoring the heat index.
