Guest Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Hi My 11 year old son plays in a football team and they have been told that they need a first aider who is trained in sports first aid. I have a current paediatric certificate so I have been designated first aider since last season. Just wondering if anyone has done the sports first aid course as the club have now asked me if I would be willing to do it? I always seem to get roped into these things, must be occupational hazard of working with children! Just been recruited as helper at my kids youth club as well - courtesy of my CRB. New years resolution for next year - learn to say no! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_3139 Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 I havent, but I know when my son was playing rugby it was decided at a fairly high level not to have first aiders anymore. All they said you needed was cold water and a phone. Cold water for bumps and bruises, the phone for anything worse. I must admit though that before that I had kept my first aid cert secret just in case I was called upon. Dealing with rugby injuries seemed so much different to anything we're taught about in ey first aid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
