Activities Administrator

Developing and Implementing Emergency Action Plans: 
Facilitator Guide for Activities Administrators 
Athletic director

 

The Activities Administrator must oversee and coordinate Anyone Can Save A Life for their school’s programs. However, they may want to enlist the help of others (a Program Champion) to oversee the training and implementation of the program. This Program Champion could be the school athletic trainer, school nurse, coach, community member or a school administrator who knows the inner workings of the athletic and activities program.

Implementation Checklist for Activities Administrators

Create Your Emergency Action Plan

Emergencies go hand-in-hand with after-school participation, so it is not a matter of if one will happen; it’s a matter of when. By having an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) in place for life-threatening events, you are preparing your school community to respond immediately to get the help that is needed.
Get Started

Save lives with a simple protocol including:

Calling 911 to alert the Emergency Medical System (EMS)
Early Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR)
Easy access to and quick use of an Automated External Defibrillator (AED)
Easy transition 
to Emergency Medical System (EMS)

Our EAP is posted and reviewed by the coaches and/or athletic trainer each season. As an athletic trainer we are training regularly and always looking for ways to improve the processes. Two Mayo High School student-athletes with myself have developed a CPR/AED awareness event that occurs 2-3 times a year for students and coaches. Graciously, we have received more portable AEDs thanks to our Booster Club, parents, and athletic director. This will provide increased access for our student-athletes and teams across the campus.
