How we set up your venue
A plan for every floor, before doors open.
01 · The venue
We walk it first
Our lead walks the building with your staff: competition floors, warm-up, bleachers, entrances and exits.
02 · The floors
Every mat mapped
Each competition floor and the warm-up area gets a sightline from a medic, so nothing happens out of view.
03 · The stations
Medics where it matters
Stations go beside the mats, plus a first-aid base by the lobby for ice, wraps, evaluations and parent hand-offs.
04 · The radio net
One crew, one channel
Every station is on radio with our lead and your event staff, so a call from any floor gets an answer in seconds.
05 · The way out
A clear route to 911
We mark where an ambulance can reach the building and the fastest path from every floor to that door.
Event day
From first walk-through to final report.
You run the event. We handle the medical side from the moment we arrive until the last team leaves.
