Safe Sideline

Safe Sideline is a 90-minute, hands-on Emergency Response Training designed specifically for coaches, staff, and league leaders who work in youth sports environments. The training was built around a simple but urgent truth:

The first 3–5 minutes before EMS arrives are critical, and most sidelines are not prepared.

Led by two Nurse Practitioners and a Sergeant trained in safety and crowd control, the training covers:

• Severe bleeding control, including gunshot and stab wound response
• Tourniquet application and wound packing
• Airway management and unresponsive athlete response
• CPR and AED refresher for sports settings
• Overdose recognition and Narcan administration
• Crowd control and chaos management
• Live emergency scenarios and skills checkoff

This will be a hands-on training with scenarios that some of us have experienced
