3.4.1 Injury management
This chapter contains general information, individuals should not rely upon this information without seeking further advice from appropriately qualified individuals.
Coaches should be guided by medical professionals regarding the rehabilitation of injured players, and coaches should not place any pressure on a player to participate until medical clearance has been given. The coach should be clear as to whether injured players are expected to attend practice, meetings and/or games.
Often, a player’s injury may stop them from full participation but will enable them to have some involvement. Subject to medical confirmation, an injured player may be able to:
- Participate as a passer in activities;
- Rebounding during shooting activities;
- Work on their fitness (e.g. riding on a stationary bike);
- Practice individual skills (e.g. dribbling, passing or shooting);
- Be a passive defender in dribbling or shooting activities (i.e. standing in a defensive position).
Even if the injured player cannot participate in any physical activities they could still be involved through:
- Recording statistics during practice;
- Acting as an assistant coach, providing feedback to other players (this can be particularly effective when it is a more experienced player that is injured);
- Helping players by getting drinks, towels etc as they are required;
- Standing with the coaches to ensure that they hear the feedback provided by the coach, also giving the coach an opportunity to question the player about aspects of play.
