TAKE THE AEDs in YOUTH SPORTS SURVEY

A New State Law for Safer Sports

The San Diego County Board of Supervisors recently approved exploring opportunities to expand access to AEDs for youth sports organizations. This follows California Assembly Bill 1467, which requires all youth sports programs to have an AED onsite during official practices and games by January 1, 2027. The law also requires coaches to be certified in CPR and AED operation and to have a written cardiac emergency response plan. 

Why Your Feedback Matters

We’re asking local youth sports organizations to complete a short survey about their current AED practices. Your responses will help us: 

• Understand what AED equipment and training your organization already has. 
• Identify challenges youth sports programs face in meeting the new requirements. 
• Plan how the County can best support you with resources, training, and funding. 

Together, we can make a big difference in keeping our young athletes safe and healthy.

Thank you for your time and commitment to youth sports safety!
