As the coach you should be prepared to deal with an injury if and when it occurs. Both Marching New Zealand and Sport New Zealand recommend that all coaches have a first aid kit on hand, and that they complete a recognised first aid course.

If the injury is serious, for example a broken bone, neck injury, severe bleeding, or the marcher is knocked unconscious, call for help from a doctor or call an ambulance..

Do not deal with a serious injury yourself, unless you are medically qualified, as you may do more harm than good.
