Concussion Policy and Training
In the 2011 legislative session, a bill was passed and signed into law regarding concussions and youth athletes. Minnesota has joined a growing number of states that have passed laws on providing concussion information, training and procedures to be followed for youth athletes to return to play. This law is effective as of September 1, 2011 (effective beginning Fall 2011 season). To comply with this law, the MYSA Board of Directors adopted a Concussion Policy at its July 2011 meeting and the MBSA BOD adopted this same policy at its July 2011 meeting.
In a very brief summary, the pertinent parts of the policy(s) for coaches and managers are:
1. You need to complete an online training course every 3 years.
2. You "shall" remove a player from a game if they exhibit signs of concussion.
