Football Safety and Injury Prevention Tips

  • See your doctor for a pre-season physical to determine your readiness to play and discover any conditions that may (or should) limit participation.
  • Check the field for any holes, debris, or other potential hazards before playing.
  • Always warm up and stretch before a game or practice session, and don't forget to stretch again afterwards.
  • Be prepared for emergencies with a first aid kit, a supply of ice, and the phone number of your team physician or the nearest medical facility.
  • Make sure all equipment-including helmets, pads, and mouth guards-fits properly and is worn correctly.
  • If you need to wear glasses while playing or practicing, make sure the lenses are shatterproof or wear glass guards
