Starting April 26th, 2013, Ohio law (ORC 3707.511) requires a youth sports organization to provide this sheet to the parent or guardian of an individual who wishes to practice for or compete in an athletic activity organized by the organization.
The law requires all youth coaches to successfully complete, every three years, an online training program in recognizing the signs and symptoms of concussions and head injuries provided by the Ohio department of Health. After completion of the program, coaches are required to print or electronically save their certificate and send the certificate to SJB (info@sjbkids.com). SJB will maintain a library of these certificates in order to comply with Ohio Law.
