Trusted by professionals, our First Aid Kits are used by elite sports teams including Norwich City FC, England Netball, Welsh Athletics, Surrey Cricket and many more.
So, let's get going...
First, Do a Stocktake
If you already have a First Aid Kit, this is the best place to start. It may seem obvious but honestly, it's the best way to know what you're short of and what you already have.
During this process, be sure to check what you have is fit for purpose. Spend some time to quickly test what you have.
Which products are out of date or will be soon? Most items have a good shelf life of a few years, but if it's not been replaced for a long time they could well be out of date or will be very soon.
Do all the items still work? Check the cold spray, are the scissors sharp, are the instant ice packs ready to use.
What You'll Need
So now you know what fit-for-purpose products you have, it's time to make a note of what your team still needs.
If you need any help during this then give us a call, or send us the below details by email and we can work out your requirements for you.
Sport, age group(s), number of teams.

Top Tip!
If you're responsible for all the First Aid Kits for different age groups, levels etc, then a good tip is to divvy up everything you have with each team. This way you can spread all the first aid items around rather than one team being lumbered with all the older stock.
You'll have a better chance to keep everyone happy and this will help to avoid an item failing when its need it.
Essentials Tick List
Here's a list of the items and quantities per First Aid Kit we recommend all teams should have, to get you through each game.
- First Aid Kit Bag - Available in large or small to suit all teams.
- 3 Pairs Disposable Gloves - Crucial to avoid contamination
- 10 x Gauze Swabs - Perfect to clear wounds and soak up blood
- 6 x Sterile Dressings – Versatile and highly absorbent to stem blood
- 2 x Cohesive Bandage – Great to support an injury or hold an ice pack in place
- 6 x Nasal Sponge Plugs – Shove it up there to stop that nosebleed instantly

How Much Do You Need?
So, you know what you need, now let’s work out how many of each.
This all depends on how many First Aid Kits you need to make up. If you only need to worry about one team that’s nice and easy. If you have multiple teams to get kit for then simply multiply the total number of kits by each recommended product and quantity from the Essential Tick list.
Many of our sports first aid essentials are supplied in case quantities. If you have several First Aid Kits that need topping up, buying a case to split for all the kits is the most cost-effective option for you. Teams can go through quite a bit of kit, so having spare stock that you can top up for each game is a great idea.
For example, a pack of 24 Instant Ice Packs will give you plenty for several kits and some spare to replenish for the next game.
What's the Most Cost-effective Way to Order?
If you only need 1 or 2 sports First Aid Kits, then a great option is our Physique Sports First Aid Kit. We supply these fully equipped with lots of the essentials plus a couple of extra bits. These are available in black, red or our NEW blue bag. Alternatively, if you have a first aid bag already you can choose the contents only.
We also have a Physique Sports First Aid Kit - Small that is perfect if you’d prefer a smaller kit. Or our NEW Physique Bum Bag First Aid Kit which has the same great content as the Physique Sports First Aid Kit - Small, but in a handy bum bag which is ideal as an immediate care bag when you're pitch side.
Our Pitch Side First Aid Kits and Bags part of our fantastic 4 for 3 offer, giving you the option to mix and match the large, small or bum bags, fully equipped, contents only, bag only or with anything else in our 4 for 3 deal.
Again if you are buying for several teams, then buying the product in case quantities where available to split up for each team kit will give you a great saving in the long run.
