[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]My son plays on Alexandria's futsal league, and I have noticed that he has been getting hurt a lot in the games on the tennis courts, particularly when he falls. He fell the same amount when things were indoors last year, but didn't seem to have the giant bruises he has so far this year. I'm wondering if this is bad luck, or if the tennis courts are not the safest surface for this.

Why is he falling down so much? My kids both play and haven’t had any issues on the courts. If he’s in goal and diving- ok. Otherwise, teach him to get up as soon as he’s down from the youngest ages and stick his ground- don’t be knocked off the ball. I see some younger kids just throw themselves all around —get up!

Because he is 11 and playing in a combined U12-U13 league, so his opponents are much bigger and wind up pushing him over or knocking him down (without fouling). He has played futsal for five years, including futsal ID for the past two years on top of rec futsal, so he is well aware of how to play properly.

Sounds like he needs to adjust then.

Yes, he obviously has to deal with the [b]different court[/b] and larger kids at his current size, as I am not planning on injecting him with human growth hormone.[/quote]

The court isn't his problem.[/quote]
