New Head Injury Protocols

In January of 2017, California State Law AB-2007 took effect, which outlines several steps that youth sports organizations need to take with regards to head injuries and concussions protocol for their players.

CenCal Cosmos will be following US Soccer and the State of California’s lead with regards to our Head Injury Prevention and Treatment Guidelines. 

Every sport is different, but there are steps your children can take to protect themselves from concussion.
• Ensure that they follow their coach’s rules for safety and the rules of the sport.
• Encourage them to practice good sportsmanship at all times.

Each year parents, coaches and players will be required to sign that they have received training and information on preventing head injuries. Parents, please download the USSF CDC A Fact Sheet For Parents on head injury prevention. Shortly, your team manager will be asking you to sign that have read the document and understand it.
