School Sports Injuries: 9 Prevention Tips
Reduce the risk of sports injuries with these essential guidelines.
Sports medicine doctors offer these tips to help reduce the number of youth sports injuries:
1. Warm-up and cool down properly. Warm-up exercises, such as stretching and light jogging, can help minimize the chance of muscle strain or other soft tissue injury and make the body’s tissues warmer and more flexible. Cooling down exercises loosen the body’s muscles that have tightened during exercise. Make warm-ups and cool downs part of your kids’ routine before and after sports participation.
2. Know and abide by the rules of the sport. Kids should also be instructed in how to use the sport’s athletic equipment properly.
3. Avoid playing when very tired or in pain. Children should take a break immediately if in pain.
4. Be in proper physical condition to play the sport. Before starting a sport, have your child work out to prepare.
5. Keep kids hydrated. Make sure there is adequate water or other liquids to maintain proper hydration. Kids need to drink 8 ounces of fluid every 20 minutes, plus more after playing.
6. Wear appropriate protective gear, such as shin guards for soccer, a hard-shell helmet when facing a baseball or softball pitcher, a helmet and body padding for ice hockey. Make sure your child uses the proper protective gear for a particular sport. This may lessen the chances of being injured.
7. Make sure the coach is certified. Enroll your child in organized sports through schools, community clubs, and recreation areas where there may be adults who are certified coaches. Ask about the coach’s background and training.
8. Get a preseason physical examination. Kids should have a thorough exam from a physician before participating in sports, including a cardiovascular workup to make sure there are no pre-existing conditions.
9. Insist on a team emergency plan. What happens if a child is injured? Where’s the first-aid kit? Who drives to the hospital? Make sure any injured child sees a doctor right away.

Pelota valenciana: un deporte olímpico
Josué Ferrer
¿Y por qué no? La pelota, deporte nacional de los valencianos, ha sido históricamente uno de los deportes más grandes del mundo. A pesar de que la burguesía y la intelectualidad valencianas a menudo le han dado la espalda, este glorioso deporte ha sobrevivido a las adversidades gracias a la práctica que de él se ha hecho en muchísimos pueblos de nuestro país. Desde aquí enarbolo mi voz a favor de que se trabaje para promocionar la pelota valenciana de cara a que pueda tener representación en los Juegos Olímpicos (JJOO) pues es un deporte más importante de lo que creemos. Por eso, hay que desterrar los mitos y prejuicios que provienen de la ignorancia y darnos cuenta de que el deporte de pelota reúne grandes condiciones para ser olímpico y de que de hecho se lo merece muchísimo más que otros.
1. La pelota es un deporte histórico. Llamarle milenario no es exagerar pues se ha jugado, en unas modalidades u otras, desde tiempos inmemoriales en pueblos tan diversos como el egipcio, el japonés o el maya. En ese aspecto la pelota, solamente por historia, merece su condición olímpica mucho más que deportes recientes como fútbol o bolea playa.
2. No es un deporte de pueblerinos. A pelota han jugado emperadores (Alejandro Magno…), césares (Vespasiano, Alejandro Severo…), reyes (Luis X, Carlos VIII, Francisco I, Enrique IV…), etc. El hecho de que las elites más poderosas de la Tierra hayan disfrutado jugando a pelota le confiere ese toque aristocrático y prestigioso que todo deporte necesita.
3. La pelota no es propia de ignorantes. Ignorante es quien piense lo contrario pues no sabe que la pelota ha cautivado a los más altos intelectuales. Escritores como Luis Vives, Pedro Calderón de la Barca o Francesc Almela i Vives, pintores como Francisco de Goya o Josep Bru o escultores como Ignasi Pinazo, entre otros, se han interesado por ella.
4. La pelota no es un deporte minoritario. De hecho, hasta el siglo XVIII fue el deporte más practicado en toda Europa. Y a pesar de la dura competencia de los deportes de masas, la pelota valenciana se encuentra en auge. Atrae cada vez a más críticos, prensa y público. Además cuenta con una proyección internacional con los campeonatos de Europa y del mundo.
5. Tiene un enorme potencial de expansión. La pelota valenciana se puede jugar prácticamente en cualquier rincón, como por ejemplo la calle. En ese aspecto, a nivel de deporte de base, los niños de cualquier país del mundo pueden interesarse más por la pelota que por otros deportes que requieren instalaciones especiales como el tenis o el golf.
6. Es un deporte plural. La pelota es un deporte extraordinariamente plural tanto en las modalidades como en las reglas que en ellas se aplican. Así vemos que en Euskadi los pelotaris juegan frente a un muro mientras en el Reino de Valencia juega un hombre frente a otro. El tenis (que es deporte olímpico) es un invento anglosajón inspirado en la pelota.
7. La pelota es un deporte competitivo. Actualmente la pelota se practica a un alto nivel en el Reino de Valencia, Bélgica, Holanda, Italia, Francia y Argentina. Otros deportes olímpicos como el hockey sobre hielo tienen mucha menos rivalidad. De hecho, con la desintegración de la Unión Soviética, Canadá es prácticamente la única gran potencia mundial en este juego.
8. La pelota no es un deporte caro. A lo largo de la historia las autoridades pertinentes han eliminado muchísimos deportes de los Juegos para reducir costes que en algunos casos eran exorbitantes. No es el caso de este juego que cuenta con plantillas reducidas, un material económico y que lejos de necesitar grandes estadios se puede disputar en cualquier lugar.
9. Da espectáculo. La pelota no tiene por qué ser un deporte aburrido como lo pueda ser el remo para alguna gente. Al contrario. Las reglas son bien sencillas y fáciles de entender, el duelo que se da entre los pelotaris resulta apasionante y titánico, el público se va satisfecho del trinquete y las apuestas dan aún más interés al juego.
10. Es clásico y prestigioso. La pelota valenciana no es como esos ridículos pseudodeportes que salen de la noche a la mañana y que aunque se les tilde de deportes no pasan de ser estúpidos juegos de entretenimiento. Es una disciplina clásica, como el maratón, y cuenta por historia, tradición y cultura con un prestigio que difícilmente se encuentra en otro juego.
El deporte de pelota fue diluyéndose y desestructurándose poco a poco por toda Europa a lo largo del tiempo. Sólo se conservó en un altísimo grado de pureza en nuestro país, el Reino de Valencia (la pelota vasca funciona con reglas más modernas que no se enraízan en la tradición histórica más pura), por lo que podemos llamarle pelota valenciana. Por todas estas razones enarbolo mi voz a favor de que a la pelota, en sus diversas modalidades (incluyendo las vascas), sea disciplina olímpica. Somos potencia mundial; la Selección Valenciana, bajo bandera valenciana, se ha proclamado campeona de Europa y del mundo y mitos como Paco Cabanes Genovés o Enric Sarasol han sido considerados los mejores no sólo del país, sino también de Europa y del mundo. Eso sería un oro (casi) seguro para el país.
A menudo los valencianos no llegamos a apreciar la inmensa riqueza y valor de nuestra historia y cultura. Es por eso que hace falta un compromiso cívico y patriótico de todos los valencianos (políticos, intelectuales, ciudadanos de a pie…) por tal de potenciar y prestigiar, aún más si cabe, un juego que como la pelota valenciana es un deporte milenario. La pelota valenciana no es solamente nuestro deporte nacional y autóctono; es historia, es cultura, es tradición, es orgullo, es casta, es prestigio, es un emblema identitario de nuestro pueblo y lo más importante; es un clarísimo referente internacional que nos sitúa en el mapa de este mundo cada vez más globalizado y que hace que en el extranjero la gente se interese por nuestra cultura y que se convenza de que los valencianos también sabemos hacer las cosas muy bien.
