This law (SB 252) is designed to educate Coaches, Parents and players about the risks associated with Sudden Cardiac Arrest in athletes.

Recently the State of Ohio passed a law referred to as Lindsay’s Law.  This law (SB 252) is designed to educate Coaches, Parents and players about the risks associated with Sudden Cardiac Arrest in athletes.  A requirement of this law is that all athletes and their parents must watch a video on the topic, view a handout covering the topic and then both the Parent and players must sign the final document that confirms they have viewed the information.    This document should then be emailed/handed to your team manager/coach who should then place it into their team folders with the rest of the team documents.
