As part of our commitment to prioritise player welfare at BHHHC, our coaching staff uses SportSmart, an app that can log, monitor and manage any injuries that happen during any training session or match. It enables us to keep a clear record of each player’s injury history, manage any concussions following the latest UK Grassroots Sports Concussion guidelines and guide them safely back to participation.

As part of the SportSmart programme, we offer a free app for parents/carers called MySportSmart, this is where you come in. On MySportSmart, you can:

1. View any injury updates that we have logged in the app.
2. Provide injury updates – for example, a visit to the doctor or physio.
3. Help us manage a safe return to activity and sport.
4. Once they are 16, invite your child to have their own MySportSmart account with view or edit access.

You can also add any other organisations that are using SportSmart to your account and, with your permission, automatically share injury and participation information with them. It’s easy to set up and will play an important role in providing us with better oversight of all our players, so we can provide the best possible care.

If you would like more information on how personal data is kept safe please read the privacy notice here. If you would prefer to opt out on behalf of your child please email h_s@berkohockeyclub.com to let us know.
