The aim of current study is evaluating coaches' knowledge for giving first aids to injured athletes insports arenas. There is a descriptive- correlation method in an applying aspect which conducted in afield study. The population for this research was the entire coaches in Kerman, Iran that were 359people. A sample was determined for this population. The data was collected from a self-questionaryperformed by the author for evaluating coaches' knowledge about first aids, that its content certaintywas 90% and its reliability was determined by Chronbach's alpha coefficient (95%). The findings fromanalysis data showed that the knowledge level for most of men coaches was low (43.90%) and for mostof women coaches was in a middle level (48.50 %). Moreover, there is a significant correlation betweenknowledge level and graduation degree (P<%5 ) but there isn't any significant relationship betweenknowledge level with coaching experiment and coaches' ages (P> %5). In regard to critical role ofcoaches in developing sports and unavoidability of injuries in sports, it seems necessary to try for firstaids instruction in different courses of coaching.
