Our association provided funding for each team to have a new FAK each year. The first year I took one look at the previous years kit and took over the job of being the FAK dad. I convinced the team parents to work out of a FAK I owned and to use the funds to replace my items as needed.

This started the team much better prepared, and actually allowed for savings in the end, because it was rare for it to be used.

Under the old plan nobody managed the kit. Replacing it each year created numerous redundancies in low use items and shortages in common use items.

Finally we wound up with a parent combo of Dad (Trauma Doc) / Mom (Paramedic + RN), and I became logistics chief, and self loading luggage.
