If a student athlete cannot move by him/herself, do not move the body part for him/her.
Instruct any bystanders to leave the injured student alone.
Do not remove the student athlete’s equipment unless emergency treatment is required e.g. CPR or artificial respiration.
Assess the injury; evaluate the severity of the injury and decide if further assistance is required.

Once the call has been placed, observe the injured student athlete carefully for any change in condition and try to reassure the injured student until professional help arrives.
Do not provide the injured student athlete with food or drink, unless otherwise indicated by situation e.g. diabetes, hydration, etc.
Stay calm and speak reassuringly.
When ambulance arrives, describe incident and what has been done.
An adult should be designated to accompany the injured student athlete to the hospital to help and document steps taken to treat the injury.
The parent/guardian of the injured student athlete must be contacted as soon as possible after the injury.
