INJURED PLAYER POLICY 

Chronic Injury (with the use of injury preventive gear) 

This player can participate as normal. For example, someone who has a chronic knee injury that has recovered to maximum potential and uses gear to prevent a re-injury. 

Acute Injury (with use of protective gear) 

This player should not participate unless they have medical clearance from a physician or physician extender. For example, someone who has a new injury that is in the acute phase of healing and has protective gear on (i.e. cast/immobilizer/boot). 

Definition of gear: Preventive - allows full range of motion and is intended to prevent injury/re-injury 

Protective - limits range of motion or immobilizes a joint or limb. 

IN-GAME INJURIES 

A player who incurs an in-game injury that greatly impacts their ability to walk or run should always use good judgment (as should their coach and their parent/guardian) and exit the game completely at the time of injury.
