Reporting an Injury

Each year, more players enjoy tchoukball and develop it in their own countries. Today, tchoukball can be played on different surfaces (indoor, grass, sand) by people with different skills and physical abilities (beginners, advanced players, juniors, adults, elderly people), and in different kind of environments (competition, training, leisure).

Despite of the efforts of tchoukball's creator, Dr Brandt, to make a non-contact sport adapted to the human physiology, injuries may happen. Most injuries are unintentional ones, and some players get injured without any contact; for example after jumping or whilst catching a ball. However, no information is yet available concerning these injuries. The FITB's Technical Commission has launched a injury reporting system, where anyone in the world from any country may send the FITB information concerning injuries.

Below are 2 documents. The first is the official covering letter explaining the system further. You will require Adobe Acrobat Reader to view this document. To download Acrobat Reader click here.

Once Acrobat Reader is downloaded, or if you already have it, click here for the certification programme.

The second document is in Microsoft Excel, and you may use this document to write the details of the injury. Click here to download it. (The FITB will only accept injury reports that are posted or faxed to the Technical Commission).

If you have any questions regarding the certification programme, please contact the Director of the FITB Technical Commission, Michel Thomann at michel.thomann@tchoukball.org
