Minnesota has joined a growing number of states that have passed laws on providing concussion information, training and procedures to be followed for youth athletes to return to play.

The Minnesota legislation 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.

Procedure/Policy Change for 2011-2012 Basketball Season:
Effective January 2011, coaches from the previous winter basketball season will remain the named head coach of the team for the ensuing season(s), unless informed otherwise. All prospective coaches are encouraged to apply for the position they are intrested in. In the event that a candidate or candidates apply for a coaching position that is currently filled, both the applicant(s) and incumbent coach will be asked to participate in a interview process, after which the most qualified individual will be selected. Please review the attached coach selection process document carefully.
Coaches of record must still submit to a criminal background check annually, renew concussion training every three years, and sign the coaches conduct pledge but are no longer required to submit a coaching application annually.
