RAAA Concussion Awareness

RAAA and concussion awareness

Training for coaches mandatory. Law sets guidelines for return to play.

It’s now law in Minnesota that if young athletes show signs of a concussion, coaches must sideline them until they can get a medical all-clear.

To help ensure the health and safety of our young athletes, the Centers for Disease Control developed the Heads Up: Concussion in Youth Sports initiative to offer information about concussions to coaches, parents, and athletes involved in youth sports.
