Injuries

While we certainly hope it doesn’t happen to GUFC players, injuries are a part of football. A significant part of your registration fees go towards insurance for injuries.

If you are injured at training or a game, regardless of whether your injury is likely to require an insurance claim or not, it must be reported via a Sutherland Shire Football Association (SSFA) accident report. Injury reporting is the same throughout the SSFA.

If you are injured here’s what to do:

At training

• Coach/manager must advise Cherie Donoghue, GUFC secretary secretary@gufc.com.au of the incident
• Cherie will complete and lodge the SSFA accident report

On game day

• Coach/manager must go to ground control at the venue (Gymea Bay Oval or any other ground) and complete an SSFA accident report. The ground control will forward the report to the SSFA
• If the injury was serious, and is likely to require an insurance claim, please also advise Cherie Donoghue, GUFC secretary, following the game.
