General Safety

I'm the member of a community youth sports organization and we do not currently have any health or safety guidelines in place. Would anyone be willing to contribute so that I can make suggestions to the board for instituting these, ie. coaches need to bring a first aid kit to all practices and games, coaches need to be trained in --- and/or ---, children with asthma need to inform the program/coach and provide asthma action plan, children with diabetes need to inform the program/coach and provide action plan, etc. Thank you so much!

Hello, I'm new in this forum. I've been here a few months, read and think really interassante many topics. Now I decided to apologize to you to be notified. I hope I can contribute something.

Are parents doing enough to protect their children against skin cancer?

Recently the National Athletic Trainers Organization came out with a study encouraging all baseball players in the infield to wear helmets. What do you think-should this be mandatory?

They say the  best way for parents to keep their children safe while playing sports is by becoming educated themselves. If parents are aware of the most common injuries in the sport their child is playing and how to prevent those injuries they can insist that their child’s program take the steps needed to keep them healthy and in the game. However, some coaches do not want to listen to our concerns. What have you done to make sure that your coach is working with you?
