What’s In A First-Aid Kit?

Nine Items That You Must Have

A basic first-aid kit should be available to each team during all practices and games. These first-aid kits can be provided to each coach for the season, or be available at a standardized location at each soccer field used for games and practices. While first-aid kits vary in content, a basic first-aid kit must contain the following items:

·Adhesive bandage strips (10 each)

·Adhesive bandages (3 large and 3 medium)

·Antiseptic wipes (5 each)

·Cotton balls or 2x2 gauze (10 each)

·Elastic wraps (2 each)

·Individual first-aid cream packets

·Non-latex gloves (2 pair)

·Mouth rescue breather (1 each)

·Instant cold pack

Caution: Elastic wrap or athlete tape should be limited to use by individuals trained in their application to prevent further injury. Be sure to check and restock first-aid kids throughout the season.
