Attention Coaches, Instructors, and Athletes! Be prepared with sports-related CPR and First Aid skills! This course can provide you with the vital knowledge you will need to respond with confidence when something goes awry on the field or in the gym. We will cover CPR basics, including how to perform Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) for adult, child, and infant, care for a choking individual and use of Automated External Defibrillator (AED). In addition, students will learn how to recognize and treat sudden illness, wound care, treatment of anaphylactic shock (use of epi-pens), and how to respond to mechanical and head injuries. Students will be given the opportunity to work through specific scenarios and by the end of the course, should have a good understanding of basic level of care. While similar to a standard CPR and First Aid course, this class focuses on situations and scenarios for sports and physical activities. Successful completion of this course will earn the student a nationally recognized BLS CPR Certificate and a First Aid Certificate. Whether you have no experience or just need a refresher, this class will work for you! This course is ideal for coaches, instructors, and anyone who participates in sports leagues or trains in martial arts.
