WebBall.com - First Aid & Safety

Cold therapy of any kind is intended for relief of temporary pain due to muscle pulls, etc. during the game or strenuous practice. Always follow cold therapy with a brisk walk to restore body temp. If pain persists, consult a coach or instructor for advice on mechanics. If pain does not go away, you may want to consult a doctor or sports medicine specialist. When cold therapy is called for, WebBall is extremely impressed with both the quality of manufacturer and the effectiveness provided by ColdOne. We've tested them and used them, and we recommend them highly.

Nothing better than a ColdOne

This complete line of reusable, cold therapy compression support products has been redesigned in 2008 with new wraps for neck, new options in shoulder therapy, and a unique new 3-in-1 wrap.

The outer insulation and inner breathable linen allow the cool to penetrate quickly to the right spots - efficiently and effectively. Created over years of technical refinement, material selection, and testing - and it shows.

In addition to the 8-piece Cold One Athletic Trainer Kit featured here, there are specially designed items and options for every part of the body that needs cold therapy.

Why WebBall recommends Rogers: Not all makes advertised as safety bases do the job. The release point depends on the size and weight of the players. Most magnetic systems just don't have the versions available for different age groups. The result are bases that break away too often - or the real danger - don't break away when they should. We also know of serious leg injuries caused by contact with unyielding magnetic base plates (happened on a field we play on). We believe that the engineering put into the Rogers Breakaway system makes it perform better under typical game and practice conditions. - Richard Todd, WebBall

Your baseball fields aren't as safe as you think

Danger is lurking. Liabilities are waiting to strike. According to the research injuries caused by improper slides cost $2 billion a year in related health costs. Everyone who's anyone has come out in support of safety bases, with no endorsement stronger than for Rogers patented Break Away® bases.

Little League mandated safety base use by April 2008. Cal Ripken and other associations have also chosen Rogers as either their exclusive or official supplier.

Nothing is more unnerving than being responsible for other people's kids on an open field when a storm starts building in the distance. We've been there. But what we didn't realize is thunder is almost always inaudible beyond 4 miles - meaning you don't always know when lightning is a risk. So you stand out there as a coach - and probably a parent, too - and you look at the high metal backstop and the open field and what... guess? Well, lightning injures or kills over 6000 people every year. So here's a better idea.

Please don't become a statistic

SkyScan Lightning Detector is a sophisticated hand-held (or wall mounted) instrument which detects lightning as far as 40 miles away and ranges its approach, telling you if a storm is moving towards, away, or parallel to your position. Audible warning tone alerts you when lightning approaches. LED distance indicators tell you how far away the storm is. Powered by two 9V batteries.
