Sports injuries are not accidents - they are predictable events. Research
has identified frequent contributing factors. Among these are:
-
Declining fitness levels of children
-
Inadequate pre-participation physical exams
-
Lack of conditioning and training errors
-
Grouping kids by age instead of size
-
Improper technique
-
Playing while injured or overtired
-
Overuse of a child athlete
-
Lack of coaching education
-
Failure to train game officials to enforce rules to deter dangerous
plays
-
Poor condition of playing fields
