Heads Up Concussion Education is Here
With the backing of the National Football League many states have enacted a "Concussion Law" aimed at educating the schools, coaches, players and parents to what concussions really are - A BRAIN INJURY. Senate Bill 1520 was signed into law last spring by Governor Jan Brewer. In effect what this law does is require that all student athletes and youth sports associations that use school facilities inform coaches, parents and players as to the signs and symptoms of concussion and what to do if you think you might have one.
Since the Arizona Region uses school facilities as host sites for our volleyball tournaments we now have a requirement that each parent, player and coach be educated about concussions. The Center for Disease Control (CDC) has put together Fact Sheets for Coaches, Players and Parents. We are now requiring a form from each player and their parent or legal guardian that acknowledges that they have read the form and understand what a concussion is. This form (which requires signatures of both the player and parent) will be turned into club who will copy it for the coach of the team and then turn it over to the Region office to be kept on file until the players are the age of majority plus 2 years - which is 20 years of age. The coach of the team will be checked at each tournament to make sure they have a copy of this form along with the medical release form in order for the player to participate in the tournament. The coaches will be educated on the signs and symptoms of concussion in their IMPACT training as well as receive a copy of the Coaches Fact Sheet for their education. Anyone participating in high school volleyball has already had to view the 20 minute NFHS concussion education clinic online.
Please print off the Fact Sheets and the Acknowledgement Form below, read the Fact Sheets, sign the form and turn into your club with the other club related paperwork following tryouts.
If you have any questions about this form or procedures, please contact the Region office.
