Concussion Training - Required for all coaches |
|
The
Minnesota Legislature recently passed a "Concussion Law" which requires
any municipality, business, school district or nonprofit organization
that organizes a youth athletic activity and charges a fee to follow the
statute's requirements, including implementing concussion training and
education to improve player safety and establish safe return-to-play
policies for athletes who sustain a concussion.
The law mandates
that all coaches and officials receive concussion training and education
by September 1, 2011, and then at three-year intervals thereafter.
Coaches must remove an athlete from activity if they exhibit signs,
symptoms or behaviors consistent with a concussion and/or are suspected
of sustaining a concussion. The law also requires a doctor's signature
to return to play if an athlete is removed due to a concussion or is
showing signs or symptoms of a concussion.
The
concussion education we recommend for coaches and officials is the
online video training session developed by the Centers for Disease
Control (CDC) and the National Federation of State High Schools www.nfhslearn.com.
This course requires registration, but it is free. Over 200,000 coaches
and officials have already successfully completed this course.
The
training process involves watching a video and then successfully
completing a quiz. The entire training module can be completed in a
little over a half an hour and then participants can print out a Certificate of Completion.
Users should use a screen capture to save the certificate on their
desktop, or print and scan the certificate to create a digital file. |
