EMERGENCY ACTION PLAN
Emergency Action Plan
Please follow and respect the policies and procedures of all Emergency Action Plans (EAP) that will be present at each score table at all facilities. While the Organizing Committee will do everything possible to prevent injuries and accidents at the school, there is still potential for serious accident and injury in any athletic event. If a serious injury occurs, time becomes critical. Subsequently, the implementation of the designated EAP must be adhered to while in attendance at any ASAA 4A Girls and Boys Basketball Provincials.
