Injuries are part of the most serious kinds public health problems. According to the available statistical data, over five million people around the world die from their injuries every year. Over the past few decades, more attention has been paid to the worldwide problem of injuries. However, there are still certain kinds of injury which have been omitted. These are injuries related to sport. This bachelor{\crq}s thesis focuses on the injuries of children that are related to football. Football is understood to be a relatively safe sport, even if the efficiency standards for being a good football player are ever more demanding. Sport activites are a very important part of our lives. Thanks to the cooperation with the TJ Lokomotiva Football Club of České Budějovice, the data, opinions and information related to the injuries of the players and coaches from this football club has been collected. A questionnaire was used to obtain this data. The collected data was analyzed and it has been discovered that the children and the coaches are mainly aware of the risk of injury, but they think that injuries are a necessary part of the game. The rate of injuries rises with the age of the player because the game tends to be more aggressive. This research proved that the players have very little information regarding injury prevention, which is contrary to that knowledge which the coaches have regarding injury prevention. This information could be helpful in preparing preventive programmes for children who participate in some kind of collective sport activity and it can also be helpfu to the coaches or club managers as well
