LEAD-5011 Sports & Legal Concepts (EL)

0.83 Credits

Sports and Legal Concepts That Impact Coaching (EL) This course will focus on legal principles which can affect coaching athletic teams. In order to protect players from injury and their institutions from legal exposure, coaches must be aware of the inherent risks in their profession. From practice to competition, risk is an issue coaches must manage on a daily basis. It is essential, therefore, that coaches understand the legal concept of negligence, which includes duty, breach of duty, causation and harm, and the concepts of agency and transfer of liability. Students will identify the risks in their sports and assess their facilities in order to create a safe environment for their players and themselves. Additionally, students will be introduced to laws that impact sports, such as Title IX of the United States Code.
