How to tell if your child's sports injury is serious: In this video, VERIFY reporter Meghan Bragg interviews doctors to help parents know when their child's injury is something more serious than bumps and bruises that come with playing sports.

High school sports are back in full swing across the Carolinas as football kicked off last week in the Charlotte area.

According to the latest data from the Insurance Information Institute, when it comes to fall sports in 2021, football saw the most injuries in players ages 15-24, with more than 92,000 injuries. Soccer had 59,000 and volleyball teams reported 18,000 injuries.

Both doctors stress parents should tell children to tell their coach when they don't feel well. Playing through the pain is an old cliche but it could be an indicator of a serious injury. If your child experiences dizziness, fogginess, headaches, blurred vision, nausea or any changes in their behavior, parents should immediately consult a doctor.

Here in the Carolinas, it can be pretty hot for the first few months of fall sports. Heat exhaustion is also something to be aware of. Ensure you are talking to your kids about drinking lots of water and finding ways to stay cool during practice. #WakeUpCLT #VERIFY Sports
