For players involved in the U.S. national team program, getting together is always a special time. Unlike their high school and college days, when they get to spend every day with their teammates, training weekends are a rare chance to come together for an extended period of time.

The upcoming U.S. women’s team tryouts are even more special this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It’s been 18 months since the team last gathered together — at the IWLCA President’s Cup in Florida in November 2019 to be exact.

There is no question that planning a sporting event at a new location can be a daunting task. 

Unfortunately, planning for medical coverage often occurs last minute, when arguably it is the most important task that should be addressed. Early planning, securing appropriate local medical providers, and obtaining suitable emergency equipment can help to mitigate stress throughout the planning process.
