Play It Safe
Sports can be a lot of fun. They are also a great way to get exercise and stay healthy. But it’s important to stay safe. Here are four ways to take care of yourself while playing.
Move and Stretch
Before playing, it’s good to warm up. Go for a light jog. Learn the proper ways to stretch. This will lessen your chances of getting injured.
Listen Up!
Rules aren’t only meant to keep the game fair. They are also meant to protect you. Listen to your coach. He or she will keep you and your playmates in the game.
Wear Protective Gear.
Protective gear includes helmets, pads, and mouth guards. Different sports require different gear. Make sure your gear fits properly.
Drink Water.
The body needs water. When you sweat, your body loses water. That’s why it’s a good idea to keep a water bottle nearby during play. Take a break and drink up!
