Heads Up Concussion In Youth Sports

East Vineland Little League is working to improve the safety of our children by educating our Coaches and Volunteers.  In conjunction with New Jersey Law, East Vineland Little League has adopted a policy to ensure our children receive the proper precautions when dealing with head and neck trauma.

A concussion is a type of traumatic brain injury caused by a bump, blow, or jolt to the head that can change the way your brain normally works. Concussions can also occur from a fall or a blow to the body that causes the head and brain to move quickly back and forth.

 

Governor Christie passed a Law on Sports Concussion Injury Prevention and Management in December 2010.  This law has begun to impact all Youth Sports Programs that apply to rent out/use HS or Public Parks and Recreation Fields -- besides turning in a Certificate of Insurance, we are required that all coaches using these complexes show proof of training in Sports Concussions.
