CPR practice manikins and training AEDs

Practice gear lets coaches run short drills during the season. It doesn't replace a certification course, and a training AED can't deliver a shock.

What the law says

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

CPR and AED training may be taken in person or online from an accredited organization.

What to look for

• Feedback on compression depth and rate, by a clicker or a light.
• A training AED whose prompts and controls match the AED you own.
• Replaceable face shields or lungs, so several people can practice hygienically.
• Enough units for your group size, so people aren't waiting in line to practice.

Buying equipment doesn't make your organization compliant. Training, the written plan, and the parent notice are separate duties. See the checklist for organizations or go back to thecompliance kit.
