There is a myth that our youngest athletes are less vulnerable to youth sports injuries. Actually, they are more vulnerable because of their developing muscles, bones and brains. Their parents and coaches should be trained to recognize and prevent the millions of injuries that occur annually.
Dr, James R. Andrews, MD, Renown Sports Medicine Surgeon, College and Professional Team Physician
Every youth sports organization has the social responsibility to recognize sports injuries as an epidemic and establish policy in prevention through educating parents and coaches. Policy in injury prevention should always be peer-reviewed, evidenced-based and certified.
Dr. David Satcher, MD, PhD, Former Surgeon General of the United States, Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
Sports safety in youth sports is a three-legged stool. The Safe Sport Act has set the standards in abuse. The U.S. Soccer Foundation’s Coach-Mentor course is recommended by NCYS for social and emotional training. I believe that Play Safely Sports offers the third leg for setting that same standard in injury prevention.
Wayne Moss. Executive Director of the National Council of Youth Sports
As the Mayor, I mandated the injury prevention course for all coaches. This course is a city-wide policy to train youth sports coaches using the Coach Safety syllabus (the Play Safety course) as a matter of risk management. One of our trained coaches was a mother whose daughter was injured and her Neurosurgeon recognized that this safety course saved her daughter's life.
