Conditioning exercises during practice strengthens muscles used in play. Increase flexibility. Stretching exercises after games or practice can increase flexibility. Stretching should also be incorporated into a daily fitness plan.

Use the proper technique. This should be reinforced during the playing season. Take breaks. Rest periods during practice and games can reduce injuries and prevent heat illness. Take time off. Plan to have at least 1 day off per week and at least one month off per year from training for a particular sport to allow the body to recover. Play safe. Strict rules against headfirst sliding (baseball and softball), spearing (football), and checking (in hockey) should be enforced.

Do not play through pain.

Avoid heat illness by drinking plenty of fluids before, during and after exercise or play; decrease or stop practices or competitions during high heat/humidity periods; wear light clothing. If children are jumping on a trampoline, they should be supervised by a responsible adult, and only one child should be on the trampoline at a time.
