There are many factors that contribute to player's safety once they begin to play, including good sportsmanship, safety equipment, adult supervision and a plan for first-aid treatment. They are set to promote safety. Make sure that players are fairly matched according to size and ability, not age. Parents and coaches should be aware of the warning signs that a player may be injured. Do not play if you are overtired.
Many injuries occur with fatigue.
Begin training slowly. Increase your training gradually without overexerting yourself. Do warm up and cool-down stretches before and after each practice or game. Drink plenty of fluids before, during and after the game. The proper use of safety equipment during sports activities can mean the difference between having fun and serious injury.
