Sports-High School Athletic Facilities Management Thesis

All players must be properly equipped with protective gear and the gear must be inspected on a regular basis (Kentucky Country Day School Coaches Handbook, n.d.). Another aspect of this is the coach's duty to properly instruct. They must make sure to instruct the skills and techniques that are required for safe play. All instruction must be properly documented (Kentucky Country Day School Coaches Handbook, n.d.). A coach does also have a duty to warn parents of inherent dangers of athletic participation. This is usually performed by ensuring that all school required forms are completed accurately and submitted to the school (Kentucky Country Day School Coaches Handbook, n.d.). All of these requirements refer back to the coach's responsibility to supervise and protect the well being of the players that are on their team. One of the primary safety obligations that a facility owes regarding participatory risks is to warn its users of the dangers that area associated with the activity that is taking place (Maloy, 1993). Athletic managers of football teams also have a duty to provide emergency care along with a duty to activate an emergency response plan. All coach's must be trained and certified in CPR and first aid. Coaches must also be able to execute the school's emergency response plan if necessary (Kentucky Country Day School Coaches Handbook, n.d.).

It is the responsibility of the football facility to provide a room or rooms that are designated for the provision of first aid to spectators. This should be in addition to the club's own medical room for players. Arrangements should...

Management should make sure that defibrillators are provided at all events. Automatic and semi-automatic defibrillators should be available for suitably trained staff (Health & Safety in Football Stadiums, 2009).
All football facilities should have an emergency plan in place. This plan should identify areas for dealing with multiple casualties and identify access and egress routes and a rendezvous point, for emergency service vehicles. Meeting should take place between the facility management, the police, and fire and ambulance services to discuss an agreed plan of action for all foreseeable incidents. All first aid and medical staff likely to be on duty should be briefed on their role in the major emergency plan. A copy of the emergency plan should be kept in the first aid room so that everyone has access to it (Health & Safety in Football Stadiums, 2009).
