There is a lack of data on injuries experienced by these athletes, which is needed to inform healthcare professionals of risk and injuries.

Hand\/wrist injuries were the most common injury location for both boys and girls (26.05% and 19.43%, respectively), and contusion was the most common injury (27.73% and 20.57%, respectively).
