Which statement is NOT accurate about the listed athletic training procedures?

• A. You should resume play 30 minutes after the last lightning or thunder
• B. For a shoulder dislocation, immobilize immediately in a comfortable position
• C. To fit a cane, measure from floor to the greater trochanter
• D. The maximum pitches per game for youth 9-14 is 90

Answer: (D)

The key idea here is safety and appropriate limits for youth athletic activities. In youth pitching, there isn’t a single fixed per-game cap like “90 pitches.” Instead, limits are age-based and tracked across days, with mandated rest periods depending on how many pitches are thrown. So stating a universal maximum of 90 pitches per game for ages 9–14 isn’t accurate because it ignores the day-to-day tracking and rest requirements designed to prevent overuse injuries.

The other statements align with standard practices: suspending play for lightning and thunder and waiting a set period (commonly 30 minutes) after the last lightning or thunder to resume; immobilizing a shoulder dislocation in a comfortable position rather than attempting a field reduction; and fitting a cane by sizing from the floor to the greater trochanter. Among these, the pitch-count claim stands out as not matching typical guidelines.
