If a player is injured, play will continue until the whistle is blown. MAke sure you know what the injury is and how to deal with it when it happens. The ref will stop the game and give time to analyze the situation. I'm not sure how often people put medices on the side but it would be a great idea to do so.

| Coaches, keep a 1st aid kit in your vehicle. Instruct your players to "take a knee" when the whistle blows for an injury. Even if it's the opposing team that is injured!

Over the past 25 years there has been a wonderful rise in the number of females participating in competitive athletics. You can’t turn on the television without seeing a cute ad with little girls playing soccer. Women of all ages are gaining respect and self esteem through their efforts in athletic competition. We have come a long way from the days when "ladies don’t sweat, they glow". Women are now sweating with pride.
Unfortunately, this increased activity has been paralleled or exceeded by a rise in serious athletic injuries among women. The most common of these serious injuries involve the anterior cruciate ligament in the knee. Estimates are that 250,000 such injuries occur every year, most commonly among 15 – 25 year old females. Female athletes suffer ACL injuries at a rate two to ten times that of males, depending upon the sport. Female soccer players suffer ACL injuries approximately three times as often as males. Professional women basketball players suffer ACL tears at a rate 10 times that of their male counterparts. Fortunately, there is some good news mixed in with the bad. Early medical research indicates that certain training activities can prevent these serious injuries, both in female and male athletes.

I have been doing a lot of reading lately and it is sad but true, female athletes are more susceptible to injury. The growth spurts that female athletes deal with decreases the balance of these females and will cause injuries. It is very important that female athletes improve the strength of their core and legs to help prevent these injuries.
"A recent study Out of Cincinnati tracked the injuries of 200 girls, aged 15-18, over two high school seasons. About half of the girls participated in a 7-week preseason conditioning program, and the rest didn't. Training program consisted of endurance, strength, agility, and plyometric activities." (The Complete Guide to Soccer Fitness & Injury Prevention, William E Garret JR., M.D. 106-107)
A total of ninety-eight injuries occurred and only seven from the group that participated in the preseason program. This is an incredible statistic. It is vital that not only female athletes but all athletes take the proper steps to prepare their bodies for the up and coming seasons.
Oh, by the way, this is not a pitch I have nothing to do with this book. But, if you are active in soccer which it looks like, this book is a must.
