What are precautions should you take when playing soccer?

Answer 1

If you get hit in the head with a soccer ball traveling a good speed of 30 miles per hour. You could have a headache. So try NOT to get hit in the head. Right now, I am in gym in my school and we are playing soccer. My advice: DON'T step on the ball. If you do...you'll fall.....hard. If you're playing goalie, try not to land on your elbows or knees, because it hurts really bad. If you hit the ball with your head, you could suffer from a concussion, or walk away without even head trauma. If the ball gets kicked extremely high in the air, DON'T jump and hit it with your head because you will have to get a bag of ice, TRUST ME! IT HURTS!

There are many many different safety rules for soccer.

For one, there are many rules just concerning the players equipment. Each player has to wear either tenni-shoes or cleats made specific for soccer. This makes it safer for every-player on the field of play. The main thing, as referees, we look for with the cleats is if they have a point or spike in the middle of the tip of their cleat. This is dangerous to other players because it could break another person's toe, or cause serious injuries. We also look at jewelry. Players of any team could rip out that jewelry. That also why we have players tuck in their shirts. Players can pull on them. And we make sure each player has shin-guards on. That protects the players shin, and trust me it doesn't feel good at all to be kicked in the shin.

Other safety rules for soccer would include fouls that end in direct kicks/indirect kicks/yellow cards/and red cards. These insure every players safety in many, many ways. If a player spits, hits, pulls on a player, kicks, tackles, pushes, screams inappropriate words, anticipates a fight, etc. They will be called out and either get a yellow card, a red card, or the other team will receive either a direct free kick or an indirect free kick.

We are also required to remove a player if we see blood. It doesn't matter where the blood is, how sever it is, we are required to send a player off the field to either get the appropriate treatment needed or to wash the blood off of his/her uniform.
