Implementing a Heart Safe Youth Sports Program
Project ADAM affiliate sites strive to assist Youth Sports Programs in being prepared for sudden cardiac arrest.
A Project ADAM Heart Safe Youth Sports Program demonstrates they are prepared for a cardiac emergency by ensuring athletes, coaches, referees and spectators have access to AEDs, people trained in CPR/AED and a practiced plan.
