Soccer is a contact sport, every season we see injuries ranging from sprains to brain injuries, and everything in between. This can be very costly; SC Youth Soccer has a policy that will cover your child. Unfortunately, most families carry a large deductible amount on their medical coverage, which means some families could be at risk of having a large bill to pay if their player sustains an injury. That is why SC Youth Soccer has arranged to offer this  affordable coverage. For just over $30 a month, you can cover your child or children. Unfortunately, the insurance laws do not allow us to offer a child under 18 years of age their own policy so one adult would need to have the coverage along with the child or children, one price covers one adult and all children. THE POLICY COVERS ALL ACCIDENTS, NOT JUST SPORTS RELATED ACCIDENTS.

How Frequently do sports injuries occur?

In the U.S., about 30 million children and teens participate in some form of organized sports, and more than 3.5 million injuries each year, which cause lost participation by athletes. Almost one-third of all injuries incurred in childhood are sports-related injuries, the most common of which, are by far sprains and strains.

Obviously, some sports are more dangerous than others. For example, contact sports such as football can be expected to result in a higher number of injuries than a non-contact sport such as swimming. However, all types of sports have a potential for injury, whether from the trauma of contact with other players or from strain of a body part.

Injury Rates:

• More than 3.5 million children ages 14 and younger get hurt annually playing sports or participating in recreational activities.
• Although death from a sports injury is rare, the leading cause of death from a sports-related injury is a brain injury.
• Sports and recreational activities contribute to approximately 21 percent of all traumatic brain injuries among American children.
• Almost 50 percent of head injuries, are sustained in sports or recreation activity
• More than 775,000 children, ages 14 and younger, are treated in hospital emergency rooms for sports-related injuries each year. Most of the injuries occurred as a result of falls, being struck by an object, collisions, and overexertion during unorganized or informal sports activities.

Where and When:

• The highest rates of injury occur in sports that involve contact and collisions
• More severe injuries occur during individual sports and recreational activities
• Most organized sports-related injuries (62 percent) occur during practice.
• Soccer can be a contact sport, every season we see injuries ranging from sprains to brain injuries and everything in between. This can be very costly.
