Sports Events

What matters at sports events

In sport, injuries happen in seconds: a collision, a wrong step, a circulatory problem in the final metres. Then what counts is having someone experienced right at the side of the pitch or along the course.

We cover martial arts tournaments, football matches, indoor sports, cycling tours and runs with thousands of participants. At runs we position teams along the course and in the finish area and coordinate everything through our operations lead.

FAQ

See all questions
How many medics do I need for a tournament?

That depends on the sport, the number of participants and the audience. For martial arts and contact sports we recommend at least one team right at the competition area.

What is the sports flat rate?

For sports events we charge €25 per day for every 200 active participants or part thereof. This covers additional supplies.

Do you also cover runs with several thousand participants?

Yes. We position teams along the course, provide ambulances and a first aid post at the finish and coordinate everything through our operations lead.

Do you work together with our club staff?

Gladly. Physios and team staff know their athletes; we take care of the emergency medical side.
