FIRST AID KIT
	SAFETY IS OUR PRIMARY CONCERN IN CHEERLEADING........Do you have a first aid kit? Or do you rely on the managers or trainers at the football/basketball games to have what you need? What about at practices? Is there an emergency kit near by? If you practice in the cafeteria versus the gym, how close is that kit? What about when you are driving to that away game? If you use the supplies from the First Aid Room, do you know what is available and where these items are? Do you know the closest place for ice? These are questions that all coaches and athletes need to know. Many times other sports teams have trainers with them at all times but cheerleaders have no one to turn to except the coach. Be prepared and know where these items are or carry them with you!
