Safe Now that a new school year is starting, it's a good time to make sure that your kids are as safe as possible when they participate in sports. An adult should always be present during games and practice sessions. Safety gear and equipment should fit properly. Kids should be playing with other children who match their general age, size and level of maturity. Playing fields should be free of rocks, holes, etc.
Children sometimes feel pressure to keep on playing even if they're injured.
So make sure to check out the seriousness of any injuries, even if you're child brushes it off. For more information about keeping active kids safe, visit the National Safe Kids Campaign Web site.
