Red Cross Certification?

Ok..here's the deal. I have gone to tons of classes with my youth group and school for CPR and first aid. i can do it all, tell you all about it, and i've helped little kids learn about it but i still don't have my special 'red cross certificate'. i would like to get it as it makes my knowledge a little more valid and such but i'm wondering if i can do that without having to pay the full thing and go to all the classes because i have already done all that. also--in the way of sports med or sports recuperation etc. is there some special course or certificate that might be the better option, because that is what i would mainly be using it for.

1. Contact the Red Cross and ask them.
As for the Sports Med, you will need to be, at the very least, a Paramedic, for that, if not a full MD.
