We believe that safety is the first consideration and
will take every possible step to reduce the potential for injury.
Rules which minimize the chance of injury will be strictly enforced and
coaches and players will be advised of this prior to play. We also are prepared should injuries occur. There will be a trainer on every field to assess any injury. They will be connected to the tournament center via walkie-talkie and are backed up by Emergency Medical Technicians who will be on-site during the tournament. Should any serious injury occur, Yale-New Haven Hospital and St. Raphael's Hospital are both minutes away with world class facilities and services. Proper equipment, careful warm-up, alert coaching and sound officiating will do much to reduce the chance of injury and our preparations to respond to any injuries will result in early and effective assessment and treatment of those that do occur. |
