Our Coaches and Directors Just Trained in CPR and First Aid
Most of what we share here is about the fun stuff: new classes, camp dates, competition weekends, and construction photos from the new complex. Today’s post is about something families do not usually see, but that matters just as much. This morning, coaches and department directors from across Bailey’s Sports spent the day in CPR and First Aid training with Adventure Medics, a professional medical services and training company right here in Bend.
Why We Do This
Every day, hundreds of kids walk through our doors to flip, tumble, climb, jump, serve, and ride. That kind of energy is exactly what we love about youth sports, and it also comes with a responsibility. When a child needs help, the first few minutes matter, and the people closest to that child are our coaches. We want every one of them to know exactly what to do, calmly and confidently, before anyone else arrives.
CPR and First Aid training is a standard part of how we prepare our team. Bringing our leadership and coaching staff together for a hands-on session with certified instructors means everyone is working from the same playbook, whether they coach preschoolers at COGA, run a cheer practice, lead a volleyball clinic, or oversee a skate camp at Truck Stop.

What the Training Covered
This was not a sit-and-watch-a-video kind of day. Adventure Medics runs their courses with real practice, real feedback, and plenty of repetition, so the skills actually stick. Our team worked through the essentials that every coach should be ready to use:
- CPR. Recognizing an emergency, calling for help, and delivering effective chest compressions and rescue breaths.
- First Aid. Assessing and responding to the kinds of injuries that can happen in an active gym: cuts and scrapes, sprains, bumps, and more serious situations that need a quick, steady response.
- Working as a team. Who calls 911, who stays with the athlete, who clears the space, and how to keep the rest of the class safe and calm.
Adventure Medics
Adventure Medics is a Bend-based medical services company that provides event medical support, emergency transport, and certification courses including CPR, First Aid, Wilderness First Responder, and more. Their instructors brought real-world experience to our session, and we are grateful for it.
Training like this is one piece of a bigger picture at Bailey’s Sports. Our coaches are trained in the sports they teach, our programs are built around age-appropriate progressions, and our staff are prepared to respond when something unexpected happens.
A big thank you to every coach and director who showed up today, took the training seriously, and made it fun along the way. Our athletes are in good hands.
