Paramedics mandatory?

Posted by BEastside coach on 4/7/2021, 7:36 am

Can anybody tell me if Paramedics or Medical professionals of Any credential are mandated to be present at HS Sporting events in WIAA bylaw or statute. Even a recommended protocol or ANY Mention of Emergency Medical staff being on site and whether or not this is optional or a cause for liability to school in case if injury to a student athlete?
Any help here would be appreciated.
Thank you

I’m not sure as to what is regulated, but every high school event I’ve been to has medical staff available. Most schools, especially the bigger schools, have athletic training programs and paid athletic trainers who are paid by the schools to staff school sanctioned athletic events.
If you are at a smaller school that may not have these resources and are having issues locating medical coverage, let me know and I can see if I can help locate someone.
