Safety FirstSoccer is a physical sport that entails some degree of risk. Minor scrapes and strains are to be expected. But with reasonable precautions we can look forward to many seasons of injury-free play. Each coach has a first aid kit. Let you coach know if your child has any illnesses or condition that he or she should be aware of. Bring ice and ziplock baggies to make ice packs for minor injuries. Also let your coach know if you know first aid or CPR. We can use all the help we can get. Shin guards are mandatory for practice and game play.Dress for the weather: In hot - hot weather bring extra water and ice. Water and ice with a cloth can cool down the players. In cool weather, wear layers under your uniform such as turtle-neck and sweat pants.
