Disinfect Equipment to Thwart Staph Infections

Hagerty Pop Warner cleans and disinfects all equipment prior to each season but it is helpful if parents maintain and clean their issued equipment throughout the season. According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), approximately 30% of the population carries Staphylococcus Aureus in their nose or on their skin. Mainly causing pimples and boils, these infections are transferred people to people through direct physical contact or via an object such as a helmet or uniform.

To help prevent the growth and spread of these and other close contact communicable germs it is imperative that equipment, including uniforms, be washed and disinfected often. Take equipment off immediately after practice or a game. Transport dirty equipment in a car trunk for long commutes. Once home, transport equipment to a dry place and clean as soon as practical.

  • Helmets – Wipe outside of helmet and mask with an anti bacterial wipe or warm soapy water. The inside can be sprayed with Lysol
  • Shoulder pads – Most pads can be sprayed with Lysol. If pads become extremely muddy, simply hose them off and hang to dry.
  • Hip pads – Wipe with soap and damp cloth.
  • Cup and athletic supporter – Most jocks and cup systems can be thrown in the wash but read manufacturer’s care label.
  • Knee and Thigh pads – These can be treated with Lysol or warm soapy water as needed.
  • Cleats- spray with Lysol, or toss in the wash if recommended by care labeling.
  • Uniform – Hagerty Pop Warner will collect the uniforms after each game and launder before the next game.

Football is a tremendous opportunity for young athletes to grow and bond. By properly maintaining and cleaning sports equipment, parents can help their players avoid unnecessary injury or illness and enjoy a long and healthy season.

 

Equipment Return

Any lost or damaged items through neglect will need to be paid for at the time the equipment is turned in.  Checks need to be made payable to HPWYF.  We will mark off what you turn in so you get credit for it.  Do not just leave it and walk away without making sure the sheet is marked that you have returned everything.  We will have tables set up for the teams.  Find the table assigned to your team and return the equipment to that table only.
