Safety Presentation by Dr. John Sherm
Dr. John Sherm gave a presentation to new WSSA players on preventing injury while playing softball. His comments are applicable to all WSSA players, so we are providing a summary of his presentation here.
1. Warm up your body, not just your arm. Few of the injuries that we have seen occur in WSSA games are arm injuries. Many more are leg injuries (hamstring, calf, Achilles tendon, etc.). Many of these could be prevented by adequately warming up the body. Keys to doing this include:
3. AVOID COLLISIONS and FALLS AT ALL COSTS! Pay attention to the position of the defensive player tending the bag. He might have to shift his position for "off target" throws! The runner must arrive at the bag in balance. (Yes...he will need to slow his approach)!
5. Most leg STRAINS (muscular) injuries come from rapid running accelerations (BURST OF SPEED)...Read More
Dr. John Sherm, D.O., has 45 years in general and family practice, and is a player in the WSSA. He is happy to help the WSSA players and teams with professional advice.

- Light jogging in all directions. Run in figure 8 patterns; jog backwards, sideways, and at angles. Simulate the movements you will be doing in the game. Continue about 10 minutes or until you feel loose.
- Gentle stretching if you would like to. Stretching before exercise is now considered unnecessary. Stretching after exercise can be helpful in increasing flexibility when done carefully, without pain.
