[image: photo: softball team]Taking part in sports and recreation
activities is an important part of a healthy, physically active lifestyle
for kids. But injuries can, and do, occur. More than 2.6 million children
0-19 years old are treated in the emergency department each year for sports
and recreation-related injuries.
Thankfully, there are steps that parents can take to help make sure kids
stay safe on the field, the court, or wherever they play or participate in
sports and recreation activities.
Key Prevention Tips
Gear up. When children are active in sports and recreation, make sure they
use the right protective gear for their activity, such as helmets, wrist
guards, knee or elbow pads.
Use the right stuff. Be sure that sports protective equipment is in good
condition, fits appropriately and is worn correctly all the time—for
example, avoid missing or broken buckles or compressed or worn padding.
Poorly fitting equipment may be uncomfortable and may not offer the best
protection.
Practice makes perfect. Have children learn and practice skills they need
in their activity. For example, knowing how to tackle safely is important
in preventing injuries in football and soccer. Have children practice
proper form – this can prevent injuries during baseball, softball, and many
other activities. Also, be sure to safely and slowly increase activities to
improve physical fitness; being in good condition can protect kids from
injury.
Pay attention to temperature. Allow time for child athletes to gradually
adjust to hot or humid environments to prevent heat-related injuries or
illness. Parents and coaches should pay close attention to make sure that
players are hydrated and appropriately dressed.
Be a good model. Communicate positive safety messages and serve as a model
of safe behavior, including wearing a helmet and following the rules.
