NEW OHIO STATE LAW
All Coaches, Referees, and league officials need to complete Concussion Certification
FOR ALL YOUTH GAMES

Ohio has passed a law, formerly House Bill 143, that requires all Coaches, Referees and league officials to undergo Concussion Awareness training every three years.  This law applies to all youth sports including recreational, travel, indoor, and premier soccer.  The new law, ORC 3707.52, becomes effective April 26, 2013.  As part of that law, the Ohio Department of Health (ODH) is required to produce a concussion and head injury information sheet and also provide links to free training on concussion awareness.  ODH has done that and the information may be found on their web site at http://www.healthyohioprogram.org/concussion.aspx.

The National Federation of High Schools (NFHS) concussion awareness course is required to be taken by OYSAN members.  The NFHS program can be found at http://www.nfhslearn.com/electiveDetail.aspx?courseID=38000.

All leagues are required to ensure that their required people have completed a certified concussion awareness course.  The NFHS certificate may be printed or saved as a PDF so that you can forward a copy to all of the leagues as required.

Take 30 minutes NOW and get your certificate.  By the way, even though there is no cost, you have to "order" the course on the NFHS web site and provide your name, address, e-mail, and phone number.
