Health and Safety
- Red Barons will always have a field paramedic present at all games.
- Please keep in mind paramedics treat signs and symptoms, they do not diagnose. Paramedics do not rule out fractures. If an affected area has persistent pain, swelling, restricted range of motion or unable to bear weight, it is recommended that your child be seen by a Physician.
- In the unlikely event that an ambulance is called to the field for a player, it will most likely be as an extra precautionary measure for child safety.
- If you see that your child is being attended to on the field or benched by medical personnel, please make yourself known to medical.
- If your child will be favoring a light injury, such as a sprained finger, toe or pulled muscle, please let your child's coach or paramedic know.
- Helmet - Check for proper padding to assure a good fitting helmet.
- Mouth Guards - Inspect your child's mouth guard often. Make sure it is not worn out or looking like chewed gum.
- Hydration - Please have your child drink lots of fluids pre-game and have a water bottle for game and practice. Water will also be supplied at games and practice.
