Firstly what I want to talk here is about sports. Football, tennis, x-games and all types of sports is a lot of fun, but if we get hurt is not. So here are some tips for you to prevent injuries, so you can stay in the game.1. Wear Protective Gear
Protective gear is anything you wear that helps keep you from getting hurt. The gear you wear depends on the sport you play. Helmets are the most common protective gear. Make sure you're wearing the right helmet for your sport. For instance, don't wear your baseball batting helmet when you're playing football! Talk with your parents or your coach to know what gear you need. Then wear that gear whenever you're practicing or playing.
2. Warm Up
It's not a good idea to just bolt on to the field and start playing. You shouldn't even start stretching until you're a little warmed up. So take a light jog to get loosened up and ready to play. Doing some stretching also can get you prepared to hit the field. By warming up, you get yourself ready to play. Warming up your muscles and practicing a sport help keep you safe too.

3. Know the Rules of the Game
When players know the rules of the game like what's legal and what's not than fewer injuries happen. You and the other players know what to expect from each other. For instance you know that in soccer you can't come from behind, crash into a player's legs, and steal the ball. It's legal and safer to go after the ball rather than the player.

4. Watch Out for Others
Some rules don't have anything to do with scoring points or penalties. Some rules are just about protecting other people and being courteous. For instance, in baseball or softball, the batter can't fling the bat after hitting the ball and heading for first base. He or she must drop it so that it doesn't hit anyone. Likewise, a diver would make sure that the pool was clear before diving in. Otherwise, he or she might land on someone else.

5. Don't Play When You’re Injured
This is a really important one. If you love sports, it's tempting to get right back in the game, even after an injury. But playing when you're hurt or before an injury has had a chance to fully heal is a bad idea. It can lead to an even worse injury, one that might sideline you for a long time. Be honest with parents and coaches if you've been hurt. See a doctor for your injuries, when necessary, and follow his or her advice about how and when to return to practice and play.
