The Safer Sport Program
The Safer Sport Program (SSP) has been developed with the philosophy of “making sport, safer sport.” SMA strives to achieve this by providing educational courses with an emphasis on injury prevention, immediate injury management, crisis management techniques and the specific practical skills required in the sporting environment.
Goals and Objectives
