Since more than 60 percent of
sport injuries occur during practice, coaches need to know how to respond to
injuries and provide appropriate first aid. The Gym.Net / Red Cross Sport
First Aid and CPR Course was created to teach school and club sport coaches
how to be safe, capable, and effective first responders to injured athletes.
During this course, coaches learn to develop a plan for emergency procedures,
reduce the number of avoidable injuries, recognize serious and minor injuries;
provide proper, immediate care for common sports injuries, and respond to
life-threatening emergencies. For over 85 years,
the American Red Cross has trained tens of millions of people in first aid and
CPR, translating the consensus of medical science into practical,
easy-to-understand information for the American public. These first aid and
CPR programs are available for any age group--preschoolers to adult--and are
designed to enhance understanding and increase participants' confidence and
skill retention.
