A concussion is a brain injury, caused by a blow, bump or jolt to the head that can have serious consequences. It can occur in any sport or recreational activity. Michigan was the 39th U.S. State to enact a law that regulates sports concussions and return to athletic activity. The law went into full effect on June 30th, 2013. The sports concussion legislation requires all coaches, employees, volunteers, and other adults involved with a youth athletic activity to complete a concussion awareness on-line training program.

You can learn more about this concussion law at the Michigan Department of Health & Human Services webpage on Michigan Sports Concussion Law.

Head coaches and assistant coaches, you can complete the necessary training and get a certificate by visiting the Heads Up Concussion in Youth Sports webpage.
