| The safety of all that participate in the program is of utmost importance to the organization and administration of each activity. Institutional resources such as the Safety Office are used to establish procedures to minimize the inherent risks to participants and spectators. Such procedures include scheduling, sport rule modifications, trained personnel, and player control. |

In an effort to maintain a safe playing area, all
participants are to adhere to the following
BLOOD RULE:
Any player who is bleeding must be substituted for until the
bleeding stops. A RecSports staff member or game official
has the authority to remove the player. If by removing the
player who is bleeding the team falls below the minimum
number necessary to play (sport specific), the following
will apply: the game clock will stop and a maximum of five
(5) minutes will be allowed for the player to stop the
bleeding. Either a RecSports staff member or game official
must approve the player to re-enter. If the bleeding is not
stopped within the allotted five (5) minutes the team will
forfeit the game. THE ALLOWANCE IS ONLY FOR PLAYERS WHO ARE
BLEEDING WHEN THE TEAM CANNOT CONTINUE TO PLAY WITHOUT
THEM. If there is an excessive amount of blood on the
uniform it must be changed before the athlete may
participate. If only minor amounts of blood exist on the
uniform, it must be sealed or dried prior to reentry.
All staff members MUST wear gloves when handling a person who is bleeding. |
| In all supervised activities a RecSports Staff member will be available to assist a bleeding player and the official will determine whether the individual may resume play. |
