An athletic trainer will be onsite/ nearby for all events. In the event there are multiple events occurring at the same time the athletic trainer will be located at the higher-risk sport with the AED. A student worker will be stationed at the other event with a two-way radio to access emergency personnel and activate the emergency action plan.
If your team is not traveling with an athletic trainer, please provide the necessary supplies for your team.
