Each Season the Athletic Director will train and review an emergency plan with each Coach and 2-3
athletes (team captains) from each team.
In the event of an emergency:
1. The Coach or site administrator will decide if the injury requires EMS. The Coach will
remain with the injured athlete, while the Team Captain or the Assistant Coach will go to
call EMS at the nearest accessible phone.
*always consider the potential for a spinal injury before the athlete is moved.
3. EMS should be activated for all emergencies including, but not limited to:
- Possible back or neck injury
- Possible heat illness or heat stroke
- Compound or displaced fracture
- Loss of consciousness
- If an athlete stops breathing or has no pulse
4. The Team Captain should call 911 or 763-8326 and give the following information:
- Their name
- Where they are calling from
- The number of the phone they are calling from
- What the emergency is
- What entrance to come to (see above)
*Stay on the line until the dispatcher hangs up.
5. The Team Captain should check back with the coach and then go to meet EMS at the
appropriate entrance/driveway.
6. Depending on the situation, the Coach or a designee may accompany the athlete to the
hospital. The person going with the athlete should bring the Emergency Information
Paper for that athlete from the Coach’s binder.
7. The Coach should notify the athlete’s parents and the Athletic Director of the incident.
Appropriate paperwork should then be completed immediately.
8. Away Games: The host school should have their own emergency plan in place. Please
Note: Not all schools have an Athletic Trainer/Medical Personnel on staff. It is the
coaches’ responsibility to care for an injured athlete. Be sure to make a mental note of
your surroundings and phone access at each visiting site.
