Sudden Cardiac Arrest:
In summer of 2012, the state adopted new rules concerning sudden cardiac arrest. Not only do all coaches need to be certified in CPR and Basic Life Saving techniques, but all schools must provide education for parents and student athletes. Consequently, the PIAA added a new page of their comprehensive parent permission packet concerning sudden cardiac arrest education. Parents and student athletes need to sign before participation
