SPORTS INJURY PREVENTION


► WEAR THE RIGHT GEAR. Players should wear appropriate and properly fit protective equipment such as pads (neck, shoulder, elbow, chest, knee, shin), helmets, mouthpieces, face guards, and eye wear.  

► STRENGTHEN MUSCLES. Conditioning exercises during practice strengthen muscles used in play.

► INCREASE FLEXIBILITY. Stretching exercises after games or practice can increase flexibility. Stretching should also be incorporated into a daily fitness plan.

► USE THE PROPER TECHNIQUE. This should be reinforced during the playing season.

► TAKE BREAKS. Rest periods during practice and games can reduce injuries and prevent heat illness.

► DO NOT PLAY THROUGH PAIN.

► AVOID HEAT ILLNESS BY DRINKING PLENTY OF FLUIDS before, during and after exercise or play; wear light clothing.
