Making Coaches Aware

Coaches don't always know what to do when a kid is hurt. Kids don't always tell the coach when they are hurt, so kids could get injured more.

How You Can Help!

• Let coaches know about sports health clinics
• Try getting a coach that is certified in first aid, CPR, and concussion protocol for the team.
• Donate so kids can purchase proper equipment.
• Teach kids how to play properly and safely.
