Seminar 5:

Safety Training, Handling Emergencies and Risk Management for Coaches and Athletic Staff Members
Session length:  2 hours
Designed for:  Athletic directors, coaches, trainers and other athletic staff members

What training have you provided for your coaches and other athletic staff members? Do they know what to do at an away game, should a serious injury or disaster situation occur?  What resources do they have available?  Is there an emergency action plan in place? How do they communicate with the school administration, and who do they call after regular school hours? 

This workshop includes:  communication plans; emergency and medical supplies needed; transportation considerations; releases and waivers for participants; protecting staff from sexual abuse allegations; identifying constituents to be dealt with in an emergency; assessing the safety of facilities and media communication policies.  The workshop uses a hands-on approach with participants brainstorming issues to be dealt with in a scenario that occurs at an away-game outside of regular school hours.

Key Concepts:

• Clarifies the need to plan ahead for injuries and other emergencies that might occur, particularly away from your home site
• Helps staff identify resources that can be utilized when regular support is not available
• Staff is involved in constructing the action plan to be utilized for your site, resulting in an action plan that is custom to your situation.
