  13. What can I do as a player? Harmful infections like CA-MRSA can be contracted through simple scrapes and cuts. • Prevention can reduce your risk • Good hygiene is THE key http://www.fatherjudge.com/fatherjudge.aspx?pgID=1263

  14. Players need to: • Shower and wash with soap after all practices and games. • Wash hands REGULARLY with soap and hot water (15 seconds). • Do NOT share: towels, razors, water bottles, and athletic gear! • Wash athletic gear regularly. • Cover all cuts and abrasions. Do not touch someone else’s cuts or abrasions. • Report any and all skin lesions to coaching staff. • Avoid picking, squeezing or scratching scabs, abrasions, bumps or rashes. • Remove all jewelry during practices and competitions to avoid scratches.

  15. What can the coaching staff do? • Make sure that antibacterial liquid soap is available both ON and OFF the field, and in all training rooms. • Stress good hygiene • Make sure that equipment and environmental surfaces that are used by multiple individuals have been cleaned with a detergent/disinfectant that specifies Staphylococcus aureus on the label. http://www.fatherjudge.com/fatherjudge.aspx?pgID=1263
