Playing sports should be a healthy and fun way to spend time for kids, and
yet every day almost 3,400 young people sustain sports injuries that send
them to the emergency room. Too often, a new survey suggests, injuries
happen because kids are playing dirty -- and coaches may not be doing
enough to stop it.
.
The new report, released by Safe Kids Worldwide, surveyed 1,000 young
athletes, 1,005 coaches and 1,000 parents. One in four young athletes in
the survey considered it normal to commit hard fouls and play rough to
"send a message" during a game. And about one third of the kids said they
had been injured as a result of dirty play from an opponent.
.
Meanwhile, one in four coaches surveyed in the report said that they don't
do anything in particular to prevent injuries to young players during
practice or games.

Overall, 90 percent of the athletes participating in the survey said they
had been hurt while playing a sport, with 37 percent of the injuries
involving sprains or strains, 24 percent dehydration, 13 percent broken
bones, and 12 percent concussions or head injuries.
.
Last year, 1.24 million children age 19 and younger went to the ER for
sports injuries, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission.

Safe Kids Worldwide offered some practical tips for coaches to help young
athletes play fair and prevent injuries:
.
Set the ground rules at the beginning of the season. Bring together
parents and athletes to agree on the team's approach to prevent injuries.
.
Teach athletes ways to prevent injuries. Proper technique, strength
training, warm-up exercises and stretching can go a long way to preventing
injuries.
.
Prevent overuse injuries. Encourage athletes to take time off from playing
only one sport to prevent overuse injuries and give them an opportunity to
get stronger and develop skills learned in another sport.
.
Encourage athletes to speak up when they're injured. Remove injured
athletes from play.
.
Put an end to dirty play and rule-breaking. Call fouls that could cause
injuries.
.
Get certified. Learn first aid, CPR, AED use and injury prevention skills
