emergency planning in sport. Choose the paper that is
relevant to the population you are discussing
(either youth or high school):
The Inter-Association Task Force Document on
Emergency Health and Safety: Best-Practice
Recommendations for Youth Sports Leagues
You should read the Youth Sports Leagues
statement above for any youth sports NOT
occurring in a high school setting. This includes any
non-school based leagues in the community (e.g., Little
League baseball, youth soccer leagues, PAL, Babe Ruth,
parks & recreation leagues, etc.).
OR
If you are coaching or evaluating emergency
preparedness in sports at a high school, read the
statement below:
National Athletic Trainers’ Association Position

(links above)
2) Based on the recommendations in the document you
read, choose one of the following scenarios and submit a
3-5 page paper addressing the scenario, and a 1 page
reflection about what you learned.
All papers should be in the following format:
• Submit a single document in Word

• 12-point font (Times New Roman or Arial)
• Double-spaced
•
The document should be titled: LastnameFirst
initial_317_Assn1 (e.g., SmithJ_317_Assn1)
Choose Scenario #1 or Scenario #2:
Scenario #1 (Coach): If you are a coach of a youth
sport or high school sport, evaluate how prepared you
are for an emergency at your primary practice
location? Do you have an EAP? Are there trained
responders on site? What steps should you take
immediately to be more prepared to respond to a medical
emergency? Submit a 3-5 page paper with
an evaluation of your practice site and EAP, based on the
document you read. After completing the evaluation of
emergency preparation at the practice site, write a 1
page reflection about what you learned, and submit it
as the final page in your assignment with the heading
titled Reflection.
OR
Scenario #2 (Parent): As a parent or
relative/friend/neighbor of a child playing a youth
sport or high school sport, evaluate how prepared
the organization or coaches are for an emergency
at the primary practice location. Is there an EAP?
Are there trained responders on site? What steps
should be taken to be more prepared to respond to
a medical emergency? Submit a 3-5 page paper
with an evaluation of the practice site and EAP,
based on the document you read. After completing
the evaluation of emergency preparation at the
practice site, write a 1 page reflection about what
you learned. Submit the reflection as the final page
in your assignment, with a heading titled:
Reflection.
• CITE the paper you read for the assignment.
•
You should NOT do additional research in order to
complete the assignment.
• Your paper should be based on how well your
practice site meets the best practices criteria
outlined in the position paper you read. Refer to
specific criteria from the document.
NOTE: If you are not a coach or parent of child currently
playing youth sports, it’s allowable to assess the practice
site of a friend, neighbor or family member who is
coaching or has a child playing. Contact me if you have
questions.
