TENNIS
- One of the primary sports needing regular sports medicine,
sports massage and AED on-site.

Brian Keene explains. "Our
largest tennis event was the 2012 ITF Senior World Championships
in La Jolla/SD, California. We took on the 7-site 14-day tournament,
1,100 athletes and 78 scheduled practitioners. We took in all
of that information - and wanted to be able to schedule that
many practitioners in advance and ensure the safety of the youth
(and adult) participants, spectators, supporters and volunteers
alike."
National Sports M.A.P. now has
a new website and an easy to use scheduling form. All sports
organizations have to do is enter their event and they'll work
on obtaining the practitioner(s). They'll send an invoice and
only a minimal deposit is required to confirm the practitioners
booking.
Keene adds, "We prefer tennis
because of the great blend of practitioners the athletes need,
primarily Massage Therapist + Athletic Trainer + Automated External
Defibrillator on-site), and the multiple number of sites that
could be covered but are currently not." |
