What is Sideline Sports Doc?

Sideline Sports Doc develops health, wellness, and injury recognition solutions developed by national class team physicians, athletic trainers, and other healthcare professionals. We help national governing bodies, teams, coaches, parents and weekend warriors better understand how to manage injuries and to optimize performance.

Our decision-support app and online course are based on The SAFE Method™, our proprietary algorithm that teaches you how to recognize a mild injury, a moderate injury, or severe injury. The app and courses do not teach you how to diagnose and provide the final treatment for an injury. Leave that to the professionals, such as a physician or athletic trainer.

In Their Own Words - SSD Course Participants

I have been Coaching Youth Sports since 1990 and been exposed to numerous in person and online sports-related injury courses, this is the best I have taken!  I thought the course was excellent.  It also was the proper blend of content and time.  The videos were a great learning tool.  A lot of people retain better via a visual opposed to a straight lecture, well done!

-Ted Brown, Club Administrator/Coach

As a soccer coach, we are often alone on the sidelines when players come off injured. In the best case situation, there are two of us, but sometimes there is only one. I am frequently faced with having to assess the extent of a child’s injury, decide who to substitute for the injured player, and continue coaching the game — all at the same time. The advice from Sideline Sports Doc is clear, concise, and practical – just what coaches need when dealing with injured players during stressful sideline team management.

-Sarah Weld, Head of East Bay United SC's Health & Wellness Committee in Oakland, Calif., and a U13 Girls Team Coach

We think it’s our obligation. If parents trust us and our member clubs with health and safety of their kids, we have a responsibility to do everything we can that their health and safety will be protected.

-Kevin Payne, CEO, US Club Soccer

Sports safety is a big issue for our parents, and we feel that it’s incredibly important for our coaches to have training in basic injury recognition. Sideline Sports Doc’s content absolutely gets this right.

-Jeff Rovner, Managing Director, Hall of Fame Flag Football

We don’t have the time or the resources to turn every coach into an EMT but at least know they have a better understanding of what their reaction should be to certain types of injuries. We’re excited about that.

-Kevin Payne, CEO, US Club Soccer

Absolutely fantastic resource! The right information, in the right amount, and do-able in a short time

-Bret Simon, Coach at Alpine Strikers FC, Sideline Sports Doc course participant. Former men’s soccer head coach at Stanford University and current Director of Athletics, Sacred Heart Schools.

SidelineSportsDoc has given me a sense of confidence when addressing an injured child, and I have without a doubt noticed that children are reassured when the coach asks the pertinent questions, makes the important observations, and is able recognize red flags. And parents are very appreciative of coaches who have familiarized themselves with on-field injury recognition.
