First Aid & Safety Center

While every effort has been made to be accurate on the safety pages, in any injury situation never rely solely on written information from any source, always consult a qualified medical practitioner or physiotherapist as soon as possible. (If you have reliable sources for other injury concerns, please let us know. (We will either obtain reprint permission or provide a link.)

Baseball is definitely a contact sport.

According to some reports, it’s the most dangerous of youth sports. Contusions, concussions, projectile injuries, collisions. Balls can be dangerous, so can bats, bases, and players – especially around the bases, and on pop-ups. The catcher is the only player well protected most of the time, and even he gets injured. In other words, we consider this one of the most important centers on WebBall. And remind you: that the best protection against injury is proper training: conditioning so the body can recover quickly, and good instruction so injuries can be avoided.
