Parent Resource Documents

Hundreds of thousands of youth participate in a wide variety of sports across the country. Concussions can happen in any sport or recreational activity. Our coaches are required to participate in a training course on concussion recognition and response. We encourage every parent to learn about concussion safety and help us educate your player on how to recognize the symptoms. You can find these resources and the training course under the Resources tab.
