Have an Emergency Plan
It is important to have a well thought out plan for dealing with injuries. It is best to have a written response plan for emergencies. Keep this in your coaching bag where you can pull it out and refer to it if necessary. Some points to consider in your plan:

1. Is a first aid kit available? (suggested contents are listed under Coach Equipment)
2. Do I have all of my players’ medical consent forms and emergency contacts with me at all times?
3. Where is the nearest phone?
4. How do I get first aid and paramedics/ambulance?
5. Do any of my assistant coaches or parent volunteers know first aid?
6. Who will go for help if I need to attend to an injured player?
7. Who will supervise other players if I need to summon help?
8. Do my assistant coaches and players know the emergency plan?
