Sports Injuries
Every day parents will drop their kids off at practices that have no qualified person to treat injuries. This is true with recreation leagues and schools. Be aware and educate your child. Most injuries happen at practice. Make sure your child knows that if they are hurt, ‘playing through the pain" can cause a minor injury to become serious. Tell the coach.

Be ready and be safe!
