I am glad my school has chosen to pay for me and my assistant to treat injuries happening at club events. Because realistically, that's what is happening. Do we have injuries that occur in our school team events? Definitely. But I am just guessing that ~70% of the injuries we dealt with this past year were injuries that occurred in club/travel/select practices and games. Other than a couple of concussions, all but one or two of our baseball team's injuries this year were overuse injuries. And they occurred before the school season started. In every sport, it's bad. Soccer, basketball, dance, cheerleading, baseball, softball, volleyball. You name it. OUT OF CONTROL.
