Compliance kit

AB 310 compliance kit

What a youth sports organization typically buys for AB 310, and what to look for in each item. Most of the spending comes before January 1, 2028. Training and the written plan come first.

What you need by each deadline

Training and the plan

By January 1, 2027, coaches must be certified in CPR and in the use of an AED.

By January 1, 2027, a youth sports organization must have a written cardiac emergency response plan. The plan covers where AEDs are located and what to do in a sudden cardiac arrest; the responsibilities of coaches, administrators, and athletes; and how those people are notified of the plan and trained on it.

Equipment isn't the main job here. Coaches need a certification class, and the board needs a written plan. Practice manikins help with refreshers during the season.

AED access

By January 1, 2028, athletes must have access to an AED at official practices and matches.

Starting January 1, 2028, the AED must be maintained and tested according to the manufacturer's guidelines and FDA and other applicable rules.

This is where most of the kit comes in: an AED where you don't already have one, a cabinet or carry bag, signs, and spare pads and batteries.

Buying gear doesn't make you compliant

Training, the written plan, and the parent notice are separate duties, and no product covers them. See thechecklist for organizations, and use the plan builder to write your plan.
