The Mumbai Schools Sports Association (MSSA) does not seem to care about the safety and well-being of young players. Yesterday, they failed to provide basic medical assistance yet again. Last month, mid-day had reported how there was no doctor or physiotherapist in attendance when a young Bombay Scottish player broke his hand while playing in MSSA's inter-school football tournament.

Yesterday, in a girls' U-16 Division-II match between DY Patil (Worli) and Swami Vivekanand International School (Borivli) at Cooperage, there was no first aid kit or even ice available for the doctor Ramesh Valvi.
