Injury prevention
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Prevent injuries in every way possible. Some important steps that can help you in your injury prevention plan include the following:
Emphasize proper skill development
Inspect practice and game fields (e.g. holes, sprinkler heads, other hazardous objects)
Teach your players sound conditioning habits (including proper warm-up, stretching, cool down, and access to plenty of fresh water)
