At Blacksburg Soccer Academy, the health and safety of our players is our top priority. We are committed to providing a safe environment where players can train, compete, and grow both physically and mentally. Our policies and procedures are designed to minimize risks and ensure the well-being of all participants, so players can focus on improving their skills and enjoying the game.

Player Health Guidelines:

• Injury Prevention: We emphasize proper warm-up and cool-down routines to help prevent injuries. Coaches work closely with players to ensure they practice safe techniques and use correct form during drills and games.

• Concussion Protocols: Player safety is always our first concern. If a player sustains a head injury, we follow strict concussion protocols, including immediate removal from play, medical evaluation, and clearance before returning to the field.

• Hydration and Nutrition: Staying hydrated and maintaining a balanced diet are essential for player performance and recovery. We encourage players to bring water to every practice and game, and we offer guidance on proper nutrition for athletes.
