NSA is responsible to monitor and track their coaches’ compliance with the concussion training requirements of the Return to Play law. Each coach must receive concussion training, and that training must be renewed every three (3) years. (See O.R.C. 3707.511 (C)(1)).

Coaches may choose training from either the Center for Disease Control (CDC) or the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS). Both programs are free of charge, but we recommend establishing an account with NFHS as additional training can be accessed free of charge.  We strongly advise coaches to save the completion certificate! A coach should then upload their certificate into their Player’s Health account.
