All sports have a risk of injury. Fortunately, for the overwhelming majority of youth, the advantages of sports participation outweigh the risks. generally, the more contact during a sport, the greater the danger of a traumatic injury. However, most injuries in young athletes are thanks to overuse.

The most frequent sorts of sports injuries are sprains (injuries to ligaments) strains (injuries to muscles), and stress fractures (injuries to bones). The injury occurs when excessive stress is placed on the tendons, joints, bones, and muscles. during a growing child, point tenderness over a bone should be evaluated further by a medical provider albeit there's minimal swelling or limitation in motion. Contact your paediatrician if you've got additional questions or concerns.

The pressure to win can cause significant emotional stress for a toddler. Sadly, many coaches and fogeys consider winning the foremost important aspect of sports. Young athletes should be judged on effort, sportsmanship, and diligence. they ought to be rewarded for trying hard and for improving their skills instead of punished or criticized for losing a game or competition. the most goal should be to possess fun and learn lifelong physical activity skills.

Players should wear appropriate and properly fit protective equipment like pads (neck, shoulder, elbow, chest, knee, shin), helmets, mouthpieces, face guards, protective cups, and eyewear. Young athletes shouldn't assume that protective gear will prevent all injuries while performing more dangerous or risky activities.

Stretching exercises after games or practise can increase flexibility. Stretching should even be incorporated into a daily fitness plan.
