Today at ASC in Houston one of our S3 girls dislocated her knee during the routine. She went down, the music stopped and all the girls came in around her. There was a medic there within 60 seconds and a coach and the medic carried her off the mat. The medic was able to pop her knee in place and splint her leg. I think this was handled the exact way it should have been. I was really impressed.

I am hoping that this more immediate responses is a result of what happened. the joy of awareness. Since EP's and coaches and even kids are aware of the dangers now I hope we will see this kind of response to injury at all competitions.

Thank you! For a fairly small comp there was a lot of great competition. What program are you from?

Just wanted to point out that there may be EMTs at comps and you don't know it. When I was team dad I saw them at every comp we went to. Most of time they were in a room had a station at the back of the comp or in warm-ups where parents don't see them. At every comp I would go find them so that I knew where to go for ice, band-aids if somehow my supply ran out, or in a real emergency. I've had to use them a number times and was glad I had done the prior preparation since I had to use them probably half a dozen times for serious injury--3 for my own CP.

Blame it on my military emergency management training.

It's been mentioned before that gyms and coaches should have an emergency action plan but I think it is mainly emphasized in the gym. Coaches and gym owners should do this whenever they arrive at any event with their kids so they are prepared when an emergency happens, not reacting to it.

ETA: I'm only participating in the discussion, I don't blame or question anyone at the comp or from the gym for this particular incident.

I didnt read through every page i skimmed through ...... however some people were saying that the person from the gym at the sound table should have cut the music when the injuries happened..... but to me it looks like the person or people over there ran when the girls came off the floor? i could be wrong thats just what it looked like to me

I will pray for all of them. I hope they recover and cheer again.

Woodlands Elite (Black Ops) - we went right after your 2nd performance. Everyone at WE was so impressed with how that team handled the situation and came back and just owned it!!

Aw thanks. Cp and her teammate (J4), chatted with one of the boys from black ops after the event. He was really supportive and nice. They were all telling eachother how awesome the other was...lol. It was great to hear about the sportsmanship. Black ops was/is amazing!

I guarantee we come back to this thread in 3 months and nothing has happened. If fact, Im gonna bookmark this page on my computer and actually come back to in 3 months to see what the "USASF" does.

BOOKMARK IT, BABY... cause it's happening. The "USASF"(and I just did airquotes at my desk) is meeting on this now.

I submit my Big Red Button idea.

If someone leaves the floor with the intention of not returning, if someone is injured and obviously unable to move to the next section of their routine (ie laying on the ground in pain OR unconscious, but not not hobbling on a possibly sprained ankle that they could finish with), if the person is bleeding profusely in an obvious manner, if the person clearly has head trauma and side effects of a concussion the button is pressed (a 3 second fade out to mute).

There are two parties that have access to this button: the EP themselves and the coach at the music table. (yes this means a coach now has to press play, but only they should bore the responsibility of this, not a mom or athlete). It is the shared responsibility of these two parties to press the button if either of these conditions are met. So if a coach runs on the floor to help an athlete and they are the only coach it can be assured the EP will also do it.

Last: no matter what the routine after stopping has to be competed again in full. The reason being this does not give incentive for a coach to ignore an injury in a routine as to not have to compete sections again AND for a team to fake an injury to compete separate halves on the floor. Yes this sucks if someone has an injury, but that is sports.

Thanks King. As you can see, I'm actively taking notes on all of your suggestions (using my imaginary pencil on a blank tablet of paper). I'll make sure we incorproate your wonderful ideas!

(actually, ship's sailed...)
