individual sports, organized by contact level and presented in a templated format for quick
identification. Each sport-focused chapter describes its history, governing organizations,
participants, rules and regulations, equipment, medical coverage logistics, medical
emergencies, and common injuries. A dedicated "Medical Bag" for every sport outlines

common injuries. This essential handbook belongs in every sports bag and will serve as a
