Every Winter, WiSE Specialist Emergency Clinics treat over 200 patients' with sports-related injuries EACHÂ WEEKEND.
For many families, weekend Winter sports are meant to be about cheering from the sidelines, making friends, keeping active and celebrating the wins.
But sometimes the weekend ends very differently.
A sudden tackle.
An awkward landing.
An innocent ankle roll.Â
A head collision on the field.
A chipped tooth.
Each weekend, hundreds of families dealing with fractures, ACL tears, concussion, wounds, and other injuries, often without knowing what to do next.
This year, we want to change that!
Introducing the WiSE Sports Injuries Summit a FREE 3-night online event designed to equip parents, coaches, teachers and clubs with the knowledge and tools to support young athletes this Winter.Â

Who This Summit Is For
The WiSE Sports Injuries Summit is for you if you are:
Parents or guardians of children or teenagers who plays sport
Sports coaches or strength & conditioning coaches
Team managers
School sports teachers
Local sporting club committee members
Over three powerful nights, we’ve brought together 9 leading medical and industry experts to guide you through what every parent, coach and athlete needs to know before the season begins:
How to prevent injuries before they happen — and what actually works (and what doesn’t)
What to do in the first critical moments after an injury — so you don’t make it worse
How to navigate recovery with confidence — and know when it’s safe to return to sport
Because the difference between a minor setback and a season-ending injury often comes down to what you do next.
