CONCUSSION LAW REQUIREMENTS
Club Compliance Statement
HB1824, otherwise known as the Zachery Lystedt Law, was signed into law on May 14, 2009. It requires, as of July
26, 2009, that additional steps be taken regarding concussions in private non-profit youth athletic programs using
school district facilities.
This bill requires training and documentation which AAU Member Clubs must adhere to. AAU players and their
parents/guardians must meet these minimum requirements:
1. All AAU member coaches will have to take training on the nature and risk of concussions and head injury
including continuing to play after a concussion or head injury.
2. On a yearly basis, a concussion and head injury information sheet shall be signed and returned by the youth
athlete and athlete's parents/guardian prior to the youth athlete's initiating practice or competition.
3. All athletes suspected of suffering a concussion or brain injury will be removed from practice or competition and
not returned to play until cleared in writing by a licensed health care provider trained in the evaluation and
management of concussions (Medical Doctors, Doctor of Osteopathy, Advanced Registered Nurse Practitioner,
Physicians Assistants, and Certified Athletic Trainers).
