I'd love to read that and show it a liability attorney.

I'd be worried in the other direction.
Let's say (God forbid) something goes wrong and the kid dies, either regardless of or as a result of the medical care he recieved on the field - are the officials (who should have been observing the EMTs/Paramedics/MDs) now responsible?
Does NASO need to provide malpractice coverage with its other insurance?
It would be interesting to get a lawyer's opinion on this.

I had a kid do this on my game this year. I had to perform CPR and other medical services until the EMS arrived. There wasn't any legal issues that I had to deal with. But that is a good question.
