Each head coach and all other coaches who are employed full time at an institution shall maintain current certification in first aid, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and automatic external defibrillator (AED) use. Each head coach shall maintain current certification in first aid, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and automatic external defibrillator (AED) use. Student-athletes may only participate in athletics activities at their initiative during discretionary time.

The exam must take place within six months before the physical activity. Each subsequent year, an updated medical history must be administered by an institutional medical staff member. 113
