Concussion Info
Minnesota has a Concussion Law which requires all public and private athletic associations to implement concussion training and education.
All Club Leaders, Coaches and Assistant Coaches must comply by following these steps.
-
Screen capture or print and scan your Certificate of Completion.
-
Upload your Certificate of Completion in your Volunteer Portal (link under Volunteer) or during your Volunteer Application process.

Repeat the online certification 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.
