PLAY IT SAFE!
Playing sports can be lots of fun, but getting a sports injury is
not! There are some important things we need to think about
when we’re going to do sports.
First, you need to use the correct protective gear. For
example, if you are going to go cycling, you need to wear a helmet
to protect your head. You also need the correct equipment – a
helmet, ice skates and gloves to play ice hockey. If you practise
karate or other contact sports, make sure to ask the instructor

about the protective gear you need. If you go skateboarding or
rollerblading, you need to wear a helmet, knee pads, elbow pads
and wrist protectors. Do you like sailing? If you practise water
sports, you need a life jacket. If you’re going to go skydiving,
don’t forget your parachute!
Another important thing is to warm up before you do
sports. It’s not a good idea to do sports without stretching
first. Again, your instructor or coach can tell you what you
need to do.
Finally, you need to drink lots of water when doing sports.
When we do sports, we lose water and you don’t want to get
dehydrated!
Follow these simple tips and do your best to avoid sports
injuries and play it safe!
