Our SYFA First Aid course syllabus gives SYFA approved coaches a set of first aid skills which ensures the initial treatment given to an injured player is appropriate, relevant and safe.
Whilst our First Aid Industry Body regulated and accredited Paediatric First Aid course is the cornerstone of the course, Scottish Sports Concussion Guidance is also taught within the course syllabus.
This approach will give players and their families the confidence that should a player suffer an injury then SYFA qualified coaching staff and other club officials will be able to deliver First Aid with the confidence and skills required to manage the situation effectively.
