IS FOOTBALL SAFE FOR MY CHILD?
Youth football safety is a topic of considerable concern and ongoing research. While football can offer numerous benefits such as physical fitness, teamwork, and discipline, it also poses risks, particularly regarding injuries, including concussions.
Efforts have been made at various levels, including rule changes, improved equipment, better coaching techniques, and increased awareness of concussion protocols, to enhance the safety of youth football. However, it's essential to recognize inherent risks associated with the sport.
Parents, coaches, and organizers play crucial roles in ensuring the safety of young athletes by promoting proper techniques, providing appropriate equipment, and closely monitoring for signs of injury. Our coaches are also trained to perform CPR and know how to use an AED machine when and if needed.
HOW LONG IS THE FOOTBALL AND CHEER SEASON?
Our football season lasts for precisely 10 weeks, during which time our teams will be working hard to secure a spot in the playoffs based on their win/loss record. After the regular season, each game is played as a sudden-death match, with the winners advancing and the losers being sent home.
Our cheer programs run alongside our 10-week football season, but once the season is over, our girls continue to train for a cheer competition that will be announced in due course. We take great pride in our football and cheer programs, and we know that our teams have what it takes to succeed., which will be announced at a later date.
WHAT IS MY CHILD HAS A MEDICAL CONDITION?
Whether your child can play football with a medical condition depends on several factors, including the nature and severity of the condition, recommendations from healthcare professionals, and any safety considerations specific to football.
Here are some steps you can take to determine if it's safe for your child to play football:
- Consult with Healthcare Professionals: Schedule appointments with your child's pediatrician or a specialist who can evaluate the medical condition and provide guidance on physical activity limitations and safety precautions.
- Obtain Clearance: Follow the recommendations of healthcare professionals. If they clear your child to participate in football with certain precautions, ensure you have their clearance in writing and share it with the appropriate coaches or league officials.
- Communicate with Coaches and Trainers: Inform your child's football coaches and trainers about the medical condition, any limitations, and the recommended precautions. They should be aware of your child's situation to provide appropriate support and adjustments as needed.
- Consider Safety Measures: Work with coaches and trainers to implement safety measures that can help protect your child while playing football. This might include modified training techniques, additional supervision, or specific equipment to minimize the risk of injury.
- Monitor Your Child's Health: Keep a close eye on your child's health and well-being while they participate in football. Watch for any signs of discomfort, worsening symptoms, or issues related to the medical condition. If necessary, be prepared to reassess their participation in the sport based on their ongoing health status.
Ultimately, the decision to allow your child to play football with a medical condition should prioritize their safety and well-being. By consulting with healthcare professionals and taking appropriate precautions, you can help ensure that your child can participate in football in a manner that minimizes risks and supports their overall health.
