Preventing Infection
Care and Management
Skin lesions are common in today’s athletics.
Small cuts, abrasions, blisters and pimples are
all areas that are susceptible to obtaining
infections such as Staph or MRSA. These
infections can progress quickly if not cared for
properly and can lead to a serious medical
condition. In order to protect your child and self,
please take the following precautions to help
prevent the spread of  infection.
  • Shower as soon as possible following activity.
  • Wash hands with soap frequently.
  • Wash all undergarments and uniforms after
    each use.
  • Do not share any towels or personal hygiene
    products.
  • All new skin lesions should be properly
    cleaned as soon as possible.
  • All skin lesions should be covered until fully
    healed.
  • Seek Medical attention if wound does not heal
    in a normal time period or worsens.

Preventing Infection
Equipment Management
Improper Care of  Protective Sports Equipment
can lead to a Serious Health Hazard…

When wet, sweaty equipment is stored in a
bag, locker, trunk, etc., the result can be a
warm, dark moist environment that is ideal for
infectious bacteria such as MRSA to grow.
Please take the following precautions to
help prevent bacteria
from growing and causing that awful
smell, while protecting
your child and self...

  • Rid equipment of excess water by wiping off and
    hanging it to dry as soon as possible following
    each use.

  • Do not pack or store equipment until fully dry.

  • Do not allow athletes to share equipment, unless
    cleaned between each use.

  • Launder uniforms and undergarments after each
    use.

  • Have equipment cleaned regularly with a process
    that eliminates bacteria such as MRSA.
