Why ECAB Requires a Concussion Certification

In 2012, The Wisconsin State Legislature passed a "Concussion Law" which requires any municipality, business, school district or nonprofit organization that organizes a youth athletic activity and charges a fee to follow the statute's requirements, including implementing concussion training and education to improve player safety and establish safe return-to-play policies for athletes who sustain a concussion. The key requirements of the law are:

• Every parent and student athlete must sign an educational consent form stating that they understand the risk for concussion and the need to report a concussion immediately.
• Any athlete who suffers a concussion or suspected concussion must be removed from play immediately.
• An injured athlete can only return to play with the written permission from a health care provider.
