- Sports Teams – Amateur, scholastic, recreational or professional teams participating in a sports league.
- Recreation Programs – National and community recreation and fitness programs that sponsor events, camps or other activities that are formally affiliated with an incorporated entity.
The outlined/downloadable participation agreement provides a basic foundation upon which sports and recreation organizations can promote athletic safety as part of their activities. Review the starter list of involvement activities and ideas and then develop additional ways to promote injury prevention as a part of youth sports.

The Association of Independent Camps
The Association of Independent Camps (AIC) represents children's summer camps across the United States and around the world. Our backgrounds, programs, activities and philosophies vary as widely as our locations. But AIC's simple mission binds us all together - to help camps help kids.
We know from personal experience that summer camp is good for children, and AIC supports the camp directors, staff, parents and campers who benefit from the summer camp experience each year.
Coach Deck
The OnDeck Newsletter was created by CoachDeck to be a constant source of education and information for all CoachDeck leagues, players and parents. Keeping everyone in the game, on and off the field. CoachDeck cards were created to assist the millions of hard-working youth sports volunteers and parents who would like to help players learn important skills and fundamentals though fun drills and games. The time commitment involved in coaching is enormous, and sometimes it is not possible to thoroughly prepare for each practice. Designed by professional coaches, the drills in CoachDeck can be performed by players from 6-16 and are laid out in a fast, easy-to-understand format that allows you to conduct an extremely effective clinic with little or no preparation. Because the Deck is portable, you'll always have it with you. The nearly infinite number of drill combinations you can create means kids will never get tired of the "same old practice".
Inside each deck you will find 52 color-coded drills. Nearly every drill contains a unique, "Make it a Game" feature that will ensure your players want practice to go on forever. Each Deck also contains two double-sided instructional cards on Safety, Terminology, Practice and How to Use CoachDeck. We're sure that once you use CoachDeck you'll wonder how you ever did with out it and, you'll agree, that A Perfect Practice is in the Cards, with CoachDeck.
