2. All wounds and injuries should be promptly detected and reported by players and coaches.
3. Appropriate protective equipment should be used at all times, including mouth and shin guard protectors.

6. Athletes traveling to different countries may be at increased risk and should ensure they have the
appropriate vaccines before traveling.
