We can help athletes stay active and healthy by knowing the facts about concussion and when it is safe for athletes to return to play. Heads Up: Concussion in Youth Sports is a free online course available to coaches, parents, and others helping to keep athletes safe from concussion. It features interviews with leading experts, dynamic graphics and interactive exercises, and compelling storytelling to help you recognize a concussion and know how to respond if you think that your athlete might have a concussion. This training takes less than 30 minutes. CDC Concussion Training Link: www.cdc.gov/concussion/headsup/online_training.html After you have completed the training, print a Certificate of Completion. If you are ever planning on coaching or volunteering to help with a Community Education activity our office must have a copy of that certificate before you can begin coaching.
