Description: "Safe at First provides the first comprehensive, sports-specific risk management plan for administrators working with youth, high school, college and community-based events. Significant information, strategies, forms, and case highlights are provided to cover all major sports and such areas as event transportation, concessions, first aid, insurance, spectator liability, government immunity and related concerns. Safe at First guides the reader from event formation through event completion and addresses key concerns faced throughout the event."

"The key issues relating to equipment usage, proper supervision, proper instruction and spectator management are addressed for specific sports including baseball, basketball, combat sports, football, golf, gymnastics, hockey, motor sports, track and field, and water sports. Any organization or individual working with sports events or teams needs the most up-to-date information and accompanying forms to help run a safer event without incurring significant costs. Safe at First accomplishes this goal."--Jacket.
