In order to protect young athletes, the State of Ohio has passed a concussion law, commonly called the “Return to Play” law. Therefore, all Ohio Tournaments are responsible to monitor and track compliance with the concussion training requirements of the Return to Play law. See O.R.C. 3707.511 (C)(1). Tournaments are required to collect and maintain certificates of compliance from the coaches. ALL coaches MUST complete the Concussion Training Course from either NFHS (preferred) or CDC. Coaches must submit a copy of the completed certificate to the tournament et either Registration or thru Pre Registration. They are also required per Ohio law, to have distributed a copy of the Parent Concussion Information Sheet to the parents of all the players.If these items are not satisfied, those coaches will NOT be able to coach at this event.

Only staff that has been certified are allowed on the player sidelines, and will need to show the certificates prior to game start. (Either certification is accepted -- you do not need both)
