NEWS for Taekwondo Athletes

The Alberta Taekwondo Association Medical Director recommends that members holding independent Taekwondo tournaments, which include sparring, have adequate medical attendants, including at least one Medical Doctor and any of the following: certified athletic therapist, physiotherapist with field experience, licensed paramedic, EMT, or registered nurse with Acute Care experience.

The recommended staff ratio to competition rings should be 1:1, therefore if you have 4 rings, you should have 4 staff (as outlined above).
