INJURY PREVENTION

This is not just for the professionals, kids of all ages can pick up injuries in a variety of ways - it doesn't always involve getting clobbered by an opposition player!

ONLINE RESOURCES

Fit 4 Football is your main resource as it's a player welfare and prevention programme developed by New Zealand Football in partnership with ACC SportSmart - supporting footballers' welfare, performance, and prevention in playing to the best of their ability.

Use the resources there in the 11+ Kids sections.

NOTE: This is not for 11+ year old kids, that's just the confusing as possible name for the program

ONLINE GUIDES

On this page you'll find downloadable assets to use to identify concussion, and guides on what to do, as well as warmup exercises.
