First Aid & Safety
📋 What it is
Basic first aid — clean a cut, ice a bump, and know when to get an adult — handles most everyday injuries.
🗣️ Coach says
You don’t need to be a doctor to help. For a small cut: wash it, cover it. For a bump or sprain: rest and ice. The most important skill is knowing when something is beyond a bandage — a deep wound, trouble breathing, a hard head hit — and getting an adult or calling for help fast. Staying calm helps you think.

Small stuff: clean & cover, or rest & ice. Big stuff: get an adult / call for help — and stay calm.

And a cool one.
😲 Whoa!
The emergency number and staying calm are the two most useful "first aid" tools most people ever need.
