Concussion Awareness Training


The State of Ohio has recently passed the "Return to Play" law that mandates that youth leagues, coaches and parents have an understanding of player safety and an awareness of injuries including those related to concussions.  All coaches and any administrators carded with a team are required to complete mandatory concussion awareness training in order to continue to actively participate in coaching and training of youth players.  For more information regarding the Return to Play please click the link below:

Ohio Sudden Cardiac Arrest Law


What is Sudden Cardiac Arrest?  A Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) occurs when the heart suddenly and unexpectedly stops beating, cutting off blood flow to the brain and other vital organs.  Sudden cardiac arrest is fatal if not treated immediately, most often by a defibrillator.
