1. Safety Personnel – Many teams find it very useful to have designated safety personnel, preferably a parent with first aid or medical experience. For any emergency or life threatening injury never hesitate to call 911.  
   
2. Medical Information and Emergency Contact Information - The club will be sending out to all teams a list of team members, medical numbers, emergency contact information and any specific medical information which was disclosed on the player’s registration – please keep these records in confidence to be used in an emergency and please ensure you have up-to-date emergency contact information for all players. 
   
3. First aid kits – many of you already have first aid kits for your bench, which is great –the Playing Smart Soccer guide includes a suggested list of components for such kits.  Plenty of ice and cold packs are a must. For our girls’ teams, we suggest you also include sanitary supplies in your kits. 
   
4. Administering Medications - Coaches and managers should NOT, under any circumstance, administer medications to players – over the counter medications such as Tylenol and Advil may be kept in the team kit however ONLY administered to a player by his/her parent. Personal player medications such as inhalers for asthma may be held for the player, but only administered by the player or his/her parent.
   
5. Players with Pre-existing medical conditions – for any player with a pre-existing medical condition (eg. asthma, anaphalactic reactions, diabetes, etc.), which should be declared on our Registration Forms, (refer item b above), the parents should be advised team personnel are not authorized to administer medications; please ensure you clarify with the parent(s) the steps the child/parent will be taking in the event of a medical problem arising. For any emergency or life threatening injury never hesitate to call 911.
   
6. Walk-in Clinics and Emergency Departments - it is mandatory for all coaches and managers, or safety personnel, to know exactly where the nearest walk-in clinic and/or hospital is located when going to soccer fields both within and outside West Vancouver.
