ACL 52602 - Critical Issues of Risk Management in Sports

Risk management is the role coaches play in minimizing the potential risks inherent in sport participation. Coaches will be prepared for their role by knowing the scope of their responsibilities, understanding how parents and players can provide informed consent, and conveying the need for appropriate insurance. Coaches will be encouraged to continue their education and offer information concerning resources such as clinics, workshops, membership in professional organizations, and subscriptions to publications that can enhance the coach’s effectiveness to promote the health, safety, and success of the players.
