INJURIES

Host schools must provide professional medical personnel to deal with all types of accident and emergencies. The cost of this, if there is one, should be factored into the tournament fees for the competing schools.

For minor injuries, it is up to the individual school to provide their own travelling medical team first aid kits.

It is ultimately the visiting coach and the first aid personnel’s final decision regarding whether an injured player should continue playing or not, but there should be some consultation with the tournament director as well, once this decision has been made (or is being made).
