Injury Policy
INJURY POLICY
It is always the Referees decision that is final as to whether a player is allowed to play in a game. If you disagree with the Referee's decision, your only recourse is to lodge a complaint after the game with the President of TEYSA. Here are the guidelines the Referee should follow:
1. If a player has a cast on his/her arm/wrist
they are still allowed to play as long as they have it wrapped
with 2" of foam and tape or ace bandage over the foam. There
can be no exposed parts to the cast. The player will also
need a doctor's note giving them permission to play with
the cast on.
2. A player who wears a knee brace or other
type of brace must have one that has no metal or sharp edges.
3. If an injury should occur during a game or practice,
please error on the side of extreme caution. If you're not
sure what to do call someone who does, a parent who is a doctor/nurse
or 911, especially if a head injury is involved. Any type
of head or back injury, do not move the player unless they
can move under their own power.
4. If a player, for any reason, has an injury causing them to bleed they must leave the game immediately. They can reenter the game when the bleeding has stopped and is all cleaned up or bandaged.
