Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) is the #1 killer of student athletes
The soccer community prides itself on recognizing the need to be prepared to respond to a cardiac emergency. We invite you to join our coaches in taking a free, 20-minute online training in the cardiac chain of survival (link below).
Given parents are typically present during practices or games, increasing the number of bystanders ready to respond increases the chance of survival for a sudden cardiac arrest victim. In fact, bystanders who give hands-only CPR can triple the chance of survival.
Please take a moment to review warning signs and risk factors of SCA, and the Cardiac Chain of Survival via the appropriate link below:
