Pink Slip Health Check
Footballers in the O’35s category are encouraged to visit their local GP and get a health check prior to the season. Like any physical activity, all players in this age category as well as anyone with a known heart condition should ensure they are prepared for the start of the season and continue to monitor and manage their health through the season.

FIFA 11+ Warm Up Program
The “FIFA 11+ ” is a complete warm-up programme to reduce injuries among male and female football players aged 14 years and older. The programme was developed by an international group of experts, and its effectiveness has been proven in a scientific study. Teams that performed the “FIFA 11+ ” at least twice a week had 30-50% fewer injured players. The programme should be performed, as a standard warm-up, at the start of each training session at least twice a week, and it takes around 20 minutes to complete. Prior to matches, only the running exercises (parts 1 and 3) should be performed.

Risk Management Information
Risk management is the course of action your club takes to reduce the likelihood of damage to person or property and to reduce potential legal liability. It seeks to identify and address potential problems before they occur. Risk management aims to be pro-active rather than reactive – creating a safer environment and legally safer operational procedures.
A common mistake clubs make is to view risk management as a one-off. It is really an ongoing process that should be applied to all your club’s policies, procedures and practices.
