CDC Concussion Training

Concussion Training Procedure

Minnesota passed a Concussion Law which requires all public and private athletic associations to implement concussion training and education. Please communicate these steps to all coaches.

1. Complete online training.

2. Screen capture or print and scan your Certificate of completion.

3. Email your Certificate of Completion to ConcussionCert@myxc.org

4. Repeat the online testing every 3 years.

Important notes from training

Coaches must remove an athlete from the activity for the rest of the session if they exhibit signs, symptoms or behavior consistent with a concussion and/or are suspected of sustaining a concussion.

The law 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.

Please print more information about the nature and risks of concussions from the CDC.
