Player Health

Insurance

The club would like to remind existing and inform new players that Football SA has basic insurance coverage. This is only for registered players, so it’s important you register with playfootball as soon as you are able to. In addition, players should look at their own circumstances and take additional medical/ income replacement insurance depending on their needs. 

Free Injury Assessment

As part of our new partnership with Therapia Sports & Spine the club is pleased to announce our first collaborative step towards improving the health and wellbeing of our players in 2024.

Therapia are a local physiotherapy clinic located just a short walk from our club in Carrington Street. They will be running a free injury assessment clinic in a one hour time-slot between10am–11am on Monday mornings. As club partners, any Crabs who are injured over the weekend (or earlier) and are able to attend, can receive a free injury assessment. Along with this assessment, you’ll get some important advice on how to manage the injury.

As a club our goal is to reduce the impact injuries have on our players and teams, and we will be doing some other work on this in the near future. But it is also important that players get timely injury assessments and the correct treatment to prevent reoccurrence and thereby minimise return-to-play times. So Therapia have designed this clinic to help us with these objectives, and in return we encourage our players to support them back.

So if you require physiotherapy as part of this injury management, we’d highly recommend you book yourself in to see one of the highly experienced physiotherapists at Therapia.
