​

INJURY

Playing social sport comes with its own risk; players are usually not training, warming up or stretching before their games, therefore injuries are, unfortunately, common. Players play at their own risk.

The officials will try their best to prevent forceful contact between players, but this still may happen due to the competitive nature of the game. If a serious injury does occur SRFC / Pacific Futsal staff will do their best to assess and treat the injured player. If, in the opinion of the Competition Manager or official that a player is not fit to continue playing (e.g. concussion or bloody injury) they have the right to ask the player not to continue or the game will not re-start. Always seek expert medical advice if an injury is sustained. Play to your limits and do not push your body, please warm-up before your game to help prevent any injuries from occurring. There is no time between games for quick warm-ups but sometimes there may be space available in other areas so please take advantage of this.

​
