My ambulance corps has been requested to provide a basic first aid course for the coaches and parents of our local area youth football league with an emphasis on common football or cheerleading related injuries. The idea is what to do when no EMT is at practice (all games have one) and before the 911 system goes into action. My partner and I will obviously touch on environmental injuries, basic treatments of sprains or potential breaks, S/S of concussion, how to immobilize and protect suspected c-spine injuries, CPR/AED use and when to activate the 911 system. Unfortunately we do not have a lot of time with the attendees - does anyone have any suggestions for online materials we can access and make available to them? And of course do any of you have suggestions on topics to cover? A majority of the players are under 13 and I just don't want to overlook any important topics. Thanks!
