EXTRICATION TEAM

The current FIFA PEAP shows six roles: Black, Orange, Red, Green, Blue and White. Earlier versions also marked a separate extrication team in yellow, usually four first aiders provided by the stadium. Some venues and teaching centres still use one. If yours does, include them in the pre-match plan: they wait beside the scoop and basket, facing the player, and join only when the team leader calls them — to help with a log roll or to carry.
