In safety for individual and dual sports, which measure is recommended?

• A. Spacing players close to target areas
• B. Using cones or poly spots to establish safe spacing
• C. Ignoring safety violations
• D. Playing without proper footwear

Answer: (B)

Using visual boundaries to keep space clear is a practical safety approach for activities done solo or in pairs. Cones or poly spots give a visible, adjustable map of where players should stand or move, creating designated zones that prevent crowding and collisions. This makes supervision easier, allows drills to progress safely, and helps athletes maintain consistent distances, which reduces the risk of interference and injury during practice and play.

Backing this up, getting too close to target areas increases the chance of accidental contact or overreach; ignoring safety issues leaves athletes exposed to harm; playing without proper footwear can lead to slips or poor footing that escalate risk. So marking safe spacing with cones or spots is the recommended measure.
