Winter is here, Gear up Your Locker room
Nov 28th 2017
Here are 3 easy tips to practice good hygiene in the locker room:
- Encourage good player hygiene (e.g. keeping hands clean by washing with soap and water or using an antibacterial hand sanitizer)
- Teach players to avoid sharing towels, razors or other personal items that come into contact with bare skin. Use a barrier (clothing or a towel) between shared equipment such as weight-training benches and inform coaches about active skin infections.
Launder personal equipment, such as towels or supporters after each use. The water should be at least 160 degrees with washing time being 25 minutes or more.
