Keep Their Heart In The Game:  Chula Vista American Little League Cardiac Emergency Action Plan 

 


Chula Vista American Little League is partnering with the Eric Paredes Save A Life Foundation on Keep Their Heart in the Game: a pilot program to protect young hearts from sudden cardiac arrest.

For the Spring 2025  Chula Vista American Little League Season and Tournament, a cardiac emergency response plan has been created for the Chula Vista  American Little League (CVALL) home fields located at 44 E. J street, Chula Vista, CA 91910, and an automated external defibrillator (AED) will be accessible in the Gator/Field Equipment Room field during practice and games.

We ask that all League and Tournament participants familiarize themselves with the cardiac emergency response plan to be sure each of us is ready to respond  to a cardiac emergency. Please the Cardiac Emergency Action Plan share with your team. 


A copy of the plan will also be in the Chula Vista American Little League Gator/Field Equipment Room .  All Umpires, CVALL Board Members, Volunteer Coaches, Team Managers and League volunteers briefed on the protocol. 

Keep Their Heart In the Game has also loaned us an Avive Connect AED®, which will be stored in the Gator/Field Equipment Room, located beneath the CVA Board Room and facing the Minor B field. In the event of a sudden cardiac arrest during a practice or game, this AED can be deployed by anyone to assure immediate emergency intervention for the victim. 

To be sure each of us is ready to respond to a cardiac emergency by calling 911, starting hands-only CPR and using the AED, we ask you to watch this short video overviewing the cardiac emergency response plan and how to use the AED.

Please watch the below 10 minute video for a complete overview of the Cardiac Emergency Response Plan:
