Sport First Aid specifically addresses conditions coaches encounter on the playing field. It provides coaches with clear guidelines on what’s expected of them as first responders, as well as action steps for the care and prevention of more than 100 athletic injuries and illnesses.
The course is based on Sport First Aid, Sixth Edition, and covers protocols for conducting emergency action steps and providing life support; performing a physical assessment; administering first aid for bleeding, tissue damage, and unstable injuries; moving an injured athlete; and returning athletes to play.
The updated sixth edition reflects the latest guidelines for administering CPR and treating concussion, dehydration, and heat illness based on guidance from leading health organizations. The course includes videos demonstrating immediate action steps for the most common first aid situations; practical at-a-glance flowcharts depicting “if this, do this” response procedures; interactive activities and quizzes; and sample forms, checklists, assessments, and safety plans.
After completing the course units, you’ll take the 50-question Sport First Aid test online.
