In addition, coaches should have an appropriately-sized Carrying Case that readily holds all of the supplies. At a minimum, the case should be labeled with the coach’s name. The kit may be taken to the field, but is usually kept in a vehicle which is easily accessible during practice or game days.
There are some pre-packaged trainers kits commercially available from the Cramer and Mueller companies. Together with the Baxter company, they also sell trainer kit supplies individually.
Further, Cramer sells the following registered trademark items that may be included in a kit:
Skin Lube ®
