- If your kid is doing more hours of one sport than their age, then they are at risk of an overuse injury.

- If they are doing more than 8 months of one sport throughout a year, then they are at risk of an overuse injury.

- If the ratio of organised sport to free play exceeds 2:1, they’re at risk of overuse injury.
