CPR & AED Training Being offered to Our Coaches!

We've all seen the headlines that make our hearts fall to our stomachs. It recently made headlines again, as Damar Hamlin of the Buffalo Bills ,forced the nation to focus on the unthinkable - young, healthy, and fit athletes suffering from sudden cardiac arrest. 

Damar Hamlin attributes his survival to the medical p
ersonnel that rushed out onto the field and immediately initiated medical protocol. CPR and the use of the AED saved his life.

The 24 year old safety has not been the only athlete making the headlines. There have been more athletes from multiple sports that have suffered from sudden cardiac arrest. You can find several here:

https://www.heart.org/en/news/2023/01/04/nfl-players-cardiac-arrest-was-a-triggering-traumatic-event-for-many
https://usafootball.com/suddencardiac/
https://abcnews.go.com/US/air-force-football-player-dies-after-suffering-medical/story?id=96372797

Most recently, was an article of a mother of a cheerleader saving her own daughter's life at a cheer Competition. You can read the story here: Cheerleader, 17, has cardiac arrest at sports event. Her mom saves her life.

The BIG takeaway from these articles is that taking immediate action is necessary to save a life. 

Called by these headlines, the Association recently invited all FLFA Coaches to receive CPR and AED training, by local medical professionals. We are grateful for the time and dedication the coaches are giving  to be officially trained and receive certification by the American Heart Association.

We look forward to giving our FLFA Athletes and Families even more peace of mind, as we plan on holding another coaches training night in April. If you are a coach that is interested in receiving training, paid for by the Association, please contact Coach Andrew Flax at andrewflax@optimum.net.

1st Post

March 2023

At FLFA, we are always striving to deliver the very best to our FLFA athletes, families, and friends!

We heard that emails at times had gotten lost or were unread. Some received every email, with some receiving it 19 times. So we are going to TRY a new way of communication through this website. 

In the off season, we will try to provide a monthly post of changes. During the season, we will try to post at least once a week. Your email should not be inundated. However, it is up to you to check this information hub! Please, be a good friend or teammate and spread the word. 

We do ask for your patience and we look forward to bringing you a new aspect of the FLFA!

In addition to our website, you can also find information for all things FLFA at our FB group page! 

Our 1st piece of information!
