Ankle injuries
An injury to an ankle can take the form of a sprain or a break and may have different degrees of severity. Sprains are stretched or torn tendons, ligaments, and blood vessels around joints.

FIRST AID:
Assume the injury could be severe.
Immobilize the player (avoid any movement that causes pain).
Begin the ICE routine (Ice, Compression, Elevation - elevation helps slow the flow of blood, thus reducing swelling).
Have the player see a physician before returning to practice.

DON’T:
Remove athlete’s shoe and sock until ice is available.
Have the player try to "walk it off".
