Prepare Your Youth Sports Community for Cardiac Emergencies
Project ADAM provides resources to help youth sports programs improve cardiac emergency preparedness. Programs that implement Heart Safe best practices demonstrate readiness through AED access, trained responders, and a practiced cardiac emergency response plan.
Steps to Implement
Work with your youth sports program's leadership to discuss the importance of being prepared for cardiac emergencies.
Use our best practices checklist as a roadmap to prepare your team or league to respond to a sudden cardiac arrest.
Utilize our customizable templates and videos below to implement your program. Contact your local affiliate for support.
Templates and Resources
Project ADAM encourages your team to share your cardiac emergency response plan (CERP) and AED locations with groups that utilize your facility. In addition, you may consider sharing your plan with local EMS, families and other sport teams or leagues.
