Sports Taping Policy
Michael Thomas
Unfortunately, tape will not be provided to players for injury prevention or when returning from injury. If a player chooses to use tape, the tape is to be provided by the player. The reason for this decision is that tape can be a huge financial burden to a club, and it is not of equal benefit to all members.
Whilst the Surf Coast FNC is happy for players to use tape, we also recommend that players complete an appropriate rehab exercise program. An exercise program in consultation with a health professional will maximise the chance of regaining agility and proprioception (awareness of the position and movement of the body) reduce the need for tape and decrease the risk of re-injury.
Where a player is receiving treatment for an injury, we request that the player inform their coach of the recommended workload and advised time frames for full training and return to games.
