Specific Safety Considerations Dealing with emergencies Planning what to do when an emergency occurs is an essential part of risk management. Youth leagues must be conversant with procedures and able to deal with emergencies so young players are well cared for. Leagues should ensure a person with current first-aid qualifications is available at all games and seek medical opinion when: • the health of a participant is questionable; • recovery from illness/injury is uncertain; and • a participant is injured during training/competition. When medical advice cannot be obtained, the league and/or club should not allow the player to participate. A first-aid kit must be available at training and competition venues. Sport-specific rescue equipment should also be accessible. Emergencies should be formally reported, discussed, and changes made to procedures if needed. First-aid Officer/Trainer For the safety of all players the following minimum levels of accreditation for providing first-aid and trainer services will apply: • Community Youth (13-14 years) – sports first-aid course/basic first-aid course; and • Community Youth (15-18 years) – Level 1 trainer/basic trainers course (must include current emergency first-aid qualification). Medical conditions Special medical conditions Some medical conditions may create concern for coaches and parents. Generally, active sports are beneficial to most people with medical conditions. However, a medical certificate should be provided if there is potential for the condition interfering with participation, or playing football could adversely influence the condition. Some conditions may require coaches to be informed if specific medical assistance could be necessary. Common conditions such as asthma, epilepsy and diabetes require an emergency management plan to be provided. Players with heart problems or who have lost one of a paired organ system (e.g. eye, kidney, testicle) need a specific medical clearance to play. Infectious diseases Playing football, as with all team sports, involves players living and training in close contact with others. While this increases the risk of contracting common illnesses such as respiratory infections, skin infections or gastroenteritis. The following simple measures can reduce the chances of transmission of these infections: • avoiding sharing drink bottles; • washing hands regularly; • avoiding spitting; • a generally clean environment in change rooms. These specific rules apply to players with acute bleeding during a game: • they should be removed from the ground immediately and the bleeding controlled; • they may require medical attention; • all open wounds should be covered before returning to play; • all clothing contaminated with blood should be removed and washed. These measures reduce the risk of transmission of blood-borne viruses. Illness and participation During times of illness, the player’s body is particularly vulnerable, with an increased risk of damage to tissues or organs. When ill or feverish, players should not participate. AFL Youth Coaching Manual 107
