Concussion Info for Members
SLPSA Members,
SLPSA is actively pursuing the education of our Board Members, Coaches, Assistant Coaches, Team Managers and our entire Membership concerning the subject of concussions. The following are some steps we have taken to better educate ourselves as a Club.
- All Summer 2012 SLPSA Coaches, Assistant Coaches and Team Managers are required to complete a concussion education certification provided by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention(CDC).
- All Summer 2012 SLPSA Coaches, Assistant Coaches and Team Managers are being requested to review the current MN State and MYSA governing body policies concerning concussions.
We are asking the entire SLPSA Membership to become more educated regarding concussions by considering the review of the following materials;
- The CDC Concussion Education Video can be reviewed at http://www.cdc.gov/concussion/HeadsUp/online_training.html .
- The MN State Concussion Law can be reviewed at http://mnyouthsoccer.org/programs/mn_concussion_law.pdf .
- The MYSA Concussion Policy can be reviewed at http://mnyouthsoccer.org/programs/mysa_concussion_policy.pdf .
- The MYSA Concussion FAQ can be reviewed at http://mnyouthsoccer.org/faq/concussion_faq.pdf .
