That is a great question! The HOCO rules require each team to be properly credentialed and wearing ID badges (no one does), and ALSO bring a medical kit to the games with them. In the three years that my son has played in HOCO, I have only observe one team, at the 2021 "B" level carry a medical bag, as required to the game.
Medics at youth lacrosse games? Where does this happen? On our team, the first aid kit is carried by the team mom, a parent or the coaches' significant other. Some tournaments have trainers but there is rarely medics on site for any youth sport -especially league play. Do you really expect a league to test each coach to see if they have their first aid kit? Our coaches need to look out for the best interest of their players-not expect someone else to do it.
