PLAYER DOWN - COACH/ASSISTANT COACH/MANGER (C/A/M) ROLE
The C/A/M should not be in a role where they are part of the emergency action plan as the call person or
the control person. The coach and manager should initiate a meeting at the beginning of the season to ensure
they have the volunteers required for their emergency action plan!
In the case of a serious injury the coach has the responsibility to ensure all other players on the team
are kept at the bench or are taken to the dressing room if instructed to do so by the game official.
The assistant coach will assist the coach as necessary with this process. If the coach is acting as the
safety person they should pre determine who on the team will take on the supervision role if he or she is
attending to an injured player.
The Manager should make themselves available to the Safety Person to assist in any way possible. This
could include accessing the medical history form, speaking with the parents, and assisting the control
person.
