 Welcome to All Hands Update, I'm Petty Officer Jen Blake. It's a great time to go outside and get involved in sports, but before you jump into your next pick up game, remember a few safety tips. Be physically ready for whatever sport you're playing. If the game involves a lot of footwork, make sure your calves, shins and ankles are in top shape. Always warm up and stretch before a game. Tight muscles and cramps can put you on the bench. If there's safety gear involved in the game you're playing, use it. Games can get rough. Or just shrug off an injury. If you think you're injured, sit this one out. It's not worth it. Most importantly, drink plenty of water. Keep yourself hydrated so you can play to the best of your ability and don't fall out of the game. When you're out on the field, track or court this summer. Remember to play smart and stay safe.
