Abstract

The aim of the National Athletic Trainers' Association's recent Inter-Association Task Force held in Washington, D.C. at the 2013 Youth Safety Summit was to determine the best practice recommendations for preventing sudden death in secondary school athletics. This document highlights the major health and safety practices and policies in high school athletics that are paramount to keep student athletes safe. The purpose of this commentary is to review the findings of the document developed by the task force and to provide possible areas where research is needed to continue to educate medical practitioners, players, coaches, and parents on ways to prevent tragedies from occurring during sport.
