There is a wonderful organization called the National Center for Sports Safety. This organization is based in Birmingham, Alabama, and its purpose is to promote the importance of injury prevention and safety on all levels of youth sports through education and research.

With all of the recent publicity over sports injuries and coaches overworking young athletes, this organization provides a wonderful opportunity for the education of parents, coaches, and the athletes. They provide a course called "PREPARE" which teaches sports first aid so common injuries are less likely to occur and are treated appropriately when they do happen.

The goal of the National Center for Sports Safety is to decrease the number of sports injuries by helping youth and high school sporting events become safer venues through Emergency Action Planning. If you are a high school coach, the parent of a high school athlete, or a high school athlete, I encourage to get involved with the National Center for Sports Safety.
