School sports are enjoyed by student athletes as well as parents across the country every day. Unfortunately, sports related injuries are quite common in both contact and non-contact sports.
While some sports are inherently more dangerous than others, negligence, faulty equipment, and other avoidable factors put all children at risk while enjoying extracurricular sports.
Children are especially vulnerable to injuries, and recovery can be more difficult because their bones and muscles are still growing. Parents can help protect their children by understanding the common causes of these injuries.
Great efforts have been made by schools and sports organizations to improve the safety of student athletes. Despite these efforts, sports injuries can happen. Factors such as coach negligence put children at a greater risk. Sports injuries are frequently caused by such factors as:
