Emergency Action Plan (EAP)

In accordance with By-law 2.150, a school shall have on file for each student that participates (including practice) in inter-scholastic athletics a certificate of physical fitness issued by a licensed physician, physician’s assistant or nurse practitioneras set forth in the Illinois State Statues not more than 395 days preceding any date of participation in any such practice,contest or activity. As this By-law addresses pre-participation certification only, there is not a guideline or By-law in placeto address release to interscholastic activity following an injury, with the exception of head injury/concussion. With theunderstanding that schools throughout the state have different needs and services available to them, this document wasproduced to provide guidelines on an athlete’s return to activity following an injury.

Each school should have a written Emergency Action Plan (EAP) in place to address medical emergencies among athletes,staff, officials, and spectators, regardless of severity, occurring during a practice or competition. The plan should alsoaddress sever weather, fire, electrical failure, bomb threat, criminal behavior, or other possible emergencies. This planshould be developed to address the unique needs of the individual sport and venue.

EAP’s should consist of the following components:• Personnel• Communication• Equipment• Emergency Medical Care• Player Medical Information• Game-day Responsibilities (includes appropriate sideline preparedness)• Catastrophic Incident Plan

While each school’s sports medicine/medical service needs and availability are different, guidelines should also be devel-oped to assist the coaching staff on what injuries should be allowed to return to competition without a medical release. Itis not practical to identify every situation or injury; however the following guidelines should assist the school/coaching staffon determining if the athlete should be allowed to return to activity without a release.

1. No swelling or deformity. 2. No headache, nausea, blurred vision, tingling, numbness or sensory changes. 3. Symmetrical (equal to the other side) joint range on motion and strength. 4. Ability to bear weight, without a limp, if injury occurs to the lower body. 5. Ability to complete full functional sporting activities without compensation.

Please remember that the majority of high school athletes are a minor. If there is a question as to their injury and ability toparticipate, the parents/guardian should be consulted.

Athletes that are unable to meet the above criteria should be encouraged to seek medical treatment prior to return to inter-scholastic activity. Those athletes that seek medical treatment should be required to provide a written medical release indi-cating their ability to participate. Without obtaining this release, the school may assume legal liability if the athlete is allowedto participate in activities not permitted by their medical provider.

A proper plan establishes accountability, should be comprehensive, yet flexible, practical, and easily understood. The writ-ten EAP must be revised, approved, distributed, and should be rehearsed regularly prior to every athletic season. The ath-letic department, administration, and sports medicine team share the responsibility to establish, practice, and execute theEAP.

A sample venue-specific is included as a part of this document, which was developed from portions of the third and fourtheditions of National Federation of State High School Associations Sports Medicine Handbook.

Managing Heat and Heat IllnessThese guidelines represent minimum standards that IHSA member schools should follow for athletic competitions. Schools with morerestrictive guidelines are not expected to modify any pre-existing guidelines in order to meet this policy. These guidelines will be usedby managers or their designees at all IHSA state series events when the Wet Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT) is above 80 degreesFahrenheit. State series tournament managers will make the decisions to suspend and resume activity in accordance with these guide-lines using those devices or systems usually used at the state series venue/site.

1. Thirty minutes prior to the start of an activity, and again 60 minutes after the start of the activity, temperature and humidityreadings will be taken at the site of the activity. Using a Wet Bulb Globe Thermometer is recommended, although a conver-sion to WBGT can be made from air temperature and relative humidity using chart 2. Record the readings in writing andmaintain the information in files of the tournament manager and/or host school administration. Tournament managers maydesignate someone other than themselves to take these readings.

Use the Table 1 (see below) with an on-site WBGT reading for appropriate exercise modifications during exercising in the heat:

Table 1 (all temperature readings as measured by WBGT)

a. ≤79.9 degrees Fi. All sports

1. Provide ample amounts of water. This means that water should always be available and athletes should be ableto take in as much water as they desire.

2. Optional water breaks every 30 minutes for 10 minutes in duration. Coordinate breaks with assigned contestofficials.

3. Ice-down towels for cooling.4. Watch/monitor athletes carefully for necessary action.

b. 80.0-84.5 degrees Fi. All sports


2. Optional water breaks every 30 minutes for 10 minutes in duration. Coordinate breaks with assigned contest offi-cials.

3. Provide cooling stations using methods such as ice towels.4. Watch/monitor athletes carefully for necessary action

ii. Contact sports and activities with additional protective equipment (in addition to the above measures)1. Helmets and other possible equipment removed while not involved in contact.

iii. Reduce time of outside activity. Consider postponing activity to later in the day.iv. Recheck air temperature and humidity every 30 minutes to monitor for increased heat conditions or sooner if per-

sonnel on the field suspects potential heat stress.

c. 84.6-87.5 degrees Fi. All sports


2. Schedule at least 4 separate 4:00 breaks within each hour, or a 10:00 break every 30:00 of training or competi-tion.

3. Coordinate breaks with assigned contest officials.4. Have cooling stations for before, during, and after exercise/training/competition.5. Watch/monitor athletes carefully for necessary action6. Reduce time of outside activity as well as indoor activity if air conditioning is unavailable.7. Consider postponing activity to later in the day or another day (with approval from IHSA Administration)8. If practicing, maximum of 2 hours of training/practice while temperature is in this range.

—16—

ii. Contact sports and activities with additional protective equipment (in addition to the above measures)1. Helmets and other possible equipment removed if not involved in activity or necessary for safety. If necessary

for safety, suspend activity.iii. Recheck air temperature and humidity every 30 minutes to monitor for increased heat conditions.

d. 87.6-89.9 degrees Fi. All sports


2. Schedule at least 4 separate 4:00 breaks within each hour, or a 10:00 break every 30:00 of training or competi-tion.

3. Coordinate breaks with assigned contest officials.4. Have cooling stations for before, during, and after exercise/training/competition.5. Watch/monitor athletes carefully for necessary action6. Reduce time of outside activity as well as indoor activity if air conditioning is unavailable.7. Consider postponing activity to later in the day or another day (with approval from IHSA Administration)8. If practicing, maximum of 1 hour of training/practice while temperature is in this range.

ii. Contact sports and activities with additional protective equipment (in addition to the above measures)1. Helmets and other possible equipment removed if not involved in activity or necessary for safety. If necessary

for safety, suspend activity.iii. Recheck air temperature and humidity every 30 minutes to monitor for increased heat conditions.

e. 90 degrees Fi. All sports

1. No training/competition2. Cancel and/or postpone activity to cooler time of the day

NOTE: While most attention will be given to outdoor sports in the fall and spring, indoor venues/facilities (gymnasiums, wrestlingrooms, and swimming/diving facilities) that are not air conditioned should not be neglected for the purposes of this policy. Additionally,sometimes conditions will vary for different aspects of the same competition. For example, one part of a cross-country course may behotter or more humid than other parts. The best course of action for managers is to take a WBGT reading at the place of the mostsevere conditions.

Cooling Methods Due to Heat Related IllnessExertional heat stroke (EHS) is relatively uncommon among exercise associated medical conditions, but is a frequent cause of exer-cise related death. The majority of evidence shows that early institution of body cooling is the most effective method of decreasingmortality in EHS. The following contains recommendations regarding the methods of body cooling, including tubs, ice bags, icedtowels (towels with water that have been frozen) water, fans, and shade. The recommendations are classified as essential (founda-tional to the implementation of treatment, should have resources and personnel directed towards implementation), and desirable(important in maximal implementation, should have resources and personnel directed towards implementation as budget andresources allow). The recommendations are only guidelines, are not intended as a standard of care, and should not be considered assuch. These guidelines should only be considered in the care of athletes who can be expected to be at risk of EHS due to the sportor the environmental situation of the activity. Sports especially at risk include football with and without equipment, soccer, and longdistance track. Other sports and activities, such as cycling, golf, baseball, tennis, track and field, and band, may also be at risk dueto long duration exposure to extreme environmental conditions.

It is essential that member schools and school administrators/officials:• Establish a written plan coordinated with local EMS for emergency treatment of EHS that includes transport to a hospital

and conduct drills in the implementation of the plan as practicable.• Know how to assess environmental conditions and determine when extreme conditions exist.• Identify a specific spot at the athletic facility that has shade.• Have immediate access to ice and bags to contain ice.• Have access to water, and provide water breaks as outlined in the IHSA Managing Heat and Humidity Policy.• Know the most effective sites for application of ice to the body.• Obtain and use, when environmental conditions are determined to be extreme, a tub or pool, filled with water and ice before

activity begins, to be used in body immersion for maximal cooling, and have personnel trained in this technique.

It is desirable that member schools and school administrators/officials:• Have a certified athletic trainer (ATC) on staff, as budget and resources allow, to develop and implement these guidelines.• Have immediate access to water.• Provide shade breaks.• Provide fans when environmental conditions are determined to be extreme.• Have close access to an air conditioned room.• Have access to and use iced towels that can be rotated to appropriate areas of the body, including the axilla, groin, and back

of the neck.

IHSA Severe Weather Safety GuidelinesTo be used during any IHSA state series contest

When thunder is heard, or a cloud–to-ground lightning bolt is seen, the thunderstorm is close enough to strike your location withlightning. Take shelter immediately.

Lightning is one of the most consistent and underrated causes of weather-related deaths or injury in the United States. Nearly alllightning-related injuries occur between the months of May and September and between the hours of 10:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m.Therefore, the greatest concern for injuries in an outdoor contest appears to be during that time, though it can happen any time ofyear.

It is essential that local managers, competing schools, and contest officials establish dialogue in advance of contests or events toensure that all involved are aware of what the plan will be in determining whether or when to suspend play. Local managers areencouraged to share their plan with competing schools and assigned contest officials prior to the start of the tournament/event.

If competing schools have portable devices they will be bringing to a contest/event and/or have specific policy or directions fromtheir administration that they must follow, the school must communicate those to the tournament manager. Tournament managersmust know the policies of each school assigned to their tournament or event prior to its start.

PROACTIVE PLANNING1) Assign staff to monitor local weather conditions before and during practices and contests2) Develop an evacuation plan, including identification of appropriate nearby safer areas and determine the amount of time needed

to get everyone to a designated safer area: a. A designated safer place is a substantial building with plumbing and wiring where people live or work, such as a school,

gymnasium or library. An alternate safer place from the threat of lightening is a fully enclosed (not convertible or soft top)metal car or school bus.

3) Develop criteria for suspension and resumption of play: a. When thunder is heard, or lightning is seen*, the leading edge of the thunderstorm is close enough to strike your location

with lightening. Suspend play for at least 30 minutes and vacate the outdoor activity to the previously designated saferlocation immediately.

b. 30 minutes rule. Once play has been suspended, wait at least 30 minutes after the last thunder is heard or lightning is wit-nessed* prior to resuming play.

c. Any subsequent thunder or lightning* after the beginning of the 30-minute count will reset the clock and another 30-minutecount should begin.

d. When lightning-detection devices or mobile phone apps are available, this technology could be used to assist in making adecision to suspend play if a lightning strike is noted to be within 10 miles of the event location. However, you shouldnever depend on the reliability of these devices and, thus, hearing thunder or seeing lightning* should always take prece-dence over information from a mobile app or lightning-detection device.

*- At night, under certain atmospheric conditions, lightning flashes may be seen from distant storms. In these cases, itmay be safe to continue an event. If no thunder can be heard and the flashes are low on the horizon, the storm may notpose a threat. Independently verified lightning detection information would help eliminate any uncertainty.

4) Review the lightning safety policy annually with all administrators, coaches and game personnel and train all personnel.5) Inform student-athletes and their parents of the lightning policy at start of the season.

EVACUATION PLAN Safe Areas: All personnel, athletes and spectators should be clearly informed of available safe structures or shelters in theevent a thunderstorm approaches. A safe structure is any fully enclosed building frequently used by people. In absence of that– athletes and spectators should go to any vehicle with a hard metal roof. Roll up the windows and do not touch the sides of thevehicle. If no safe structure or vehicle is available, find a thick grove of small trees surrounded by taller trees or a dry ditch.Assume a crouched position on the ground with only the balls of your feet touching the ground. Wrap your arms around yourknees and lower your head. Minimize contact to the ground since lightning often travels through the ground.

Avoid: Tall trees or objects like light poles or flagpoles, individual trees, standing pools of water and open fields. Also avoid beingthe highest object on the field. Do not take shelter under trees. Avoid bathrooms if another building is available, and do not use aland-line telephone. A cellular phone or portable phone is a safe alternative if in a secure shelter or vehicle.

Resuming Activity: The NSSL (National Severe Storms Laboratory) recommends that everyone should wait at least 30 minutesafter the last flash of lightning or sound of thunder before returning to the field or activity.

Awards Delivery Information

To Managers of All IHSA Tournaments:

In an effort to better serve our tournament sites and the suppliers of our awards, we would like to have you read this bulletincarefully and then do what you can to expedite the instructions:

1. Be advised that at Regional and Sectional Tournaments, medals and plaques may be shipped separately and may notarrive at your tournament site on the same day. Please open boxes immediately to check contents, as medals CAN bein plaque boxes. NOTE: There are no medals given at Regional and/or Sectional levels in the team sports of baseball,basketball, competitive cheerleading, football, soccer, softball and volleyball, and in the activities of Drama/GroupInterpretation and Scholastic Bowl.

Our awards supplier, A and M Products of Princeton, IL, often ships Regional and/or Sectional medals in thebox with the plaque. PLEASE CHECK THE PLAQUE BOXES CAREFULLY AND DO NOT DISCARD THEM UNTILYOU HAVE DETERMINED THE MEDALS ARE NOT THERE!!

At State Final Tournaments, medallions and trophies may be shipped separately and may not arrive at your tournamentsite on the same day. Please open boxes immediately to check contents, as medallions can be in trophy boxes.

2. Awards will be shipped to the school sites directly from A & M Products via United Parcel Service.

3. Please inform whoever receives your United Parcel deliveries to expect awards to arrive up to two weeks prior to thetournament, and ask them to deliver the packages directly to you when they arrive.

4. It is very likely that some awards (particularly trophies) will arrive in two or more boxes. They may not arrive on thesame day, but should be opened as they arrive.

5. Please check all trophies, plaques, etc., to see that they are in good condition and not damaged in any way. You shouldnote that they are engraved with the proper sport/activity, tournament level, year, etc.

If, after doing all of this, a problem develops, please contact Cheryl Lowery at the IHSA office at (309) 663-6377.

Thank you very much for your cooperation.

Kraig Garber Asst. Executive Director
