First Aid for Coaches
To help promote safety and offer an effective way for coaches to meet the fundamental emergency response and care responsibility, USA Diving has partnered with the American Red Cross of Central Indiana to provide First Aid for Coaches, a component of Sport Safety Training online.

First Aid for Coaches, a component of Sport Safety Training was developed jointly by the American Red Cross of Central Indiana and the United States Olympic Committee. The course was designed to help coaches, athletic trainers and other participants identify and eliminate potentially hazardous conditions in various sports environments, as well as recognize emergencies and make appropriate decisions for first-aid care. First Aid for Coaches meets first-aid requirements mandated for coach and athletic trainers.

To sign up, simply click on the Red Cross Online Training button below. From there coaches can select, register for and begin First Aid for Coaches in less than five minutes. Coaches will also be able to choose from a large menu of online Red Cross courses, including CPR and AED. For every coach who clicks on the ARC Link and registers for a fee-based ARC online course, USA Diving receives $3.
