Sports First Aid Training

---

 Our SYFA Approved Sports First Aid course is specifically designed for football coaches, team officials, volunteers, and club representatives who require a recognised Sports First Aid qualification to meet Scottish Youth Football Association (SYFA) requirements. The course goes beyond standard first aid training by focusing on the types of injuries and medical emergencies that can occur during sporting activities, helping learners develop the confidence and practical skills needed to respond quickly and effectively when it matters most. 

Through a combination of practical scenarios and hands-on learning, participants will cover essential topics including CPR and AED use, concussion awareness, head and spinal injuries, fractures, bleeding, shock, asthma, seizures, and other common sports-related incidents. The training is particularly beneficial for football coaches, assistant coaches, team managers, sports volunteers, youth football clubs, grassroots sports organisations, and anyone responsible for the welfare of players during training sessions or matches. Successful completion provides learners with a recognised qualification that supports SYFA club requirements while helping to create a safer sporting environment for players of all ages.
