Sudden Cardiac Arrest Law Information

The information below pertains to the Sudden Cardiac Awareness (SCA) training now required by Ohio law. The law itself is commonly referred to as "Lindsay's Law". This law applies to all parents, players and coaches that participate in athletic competitions in Ohio regardless of state/country of residence.

In brief, all coaches will watch a video (18 min.) then sign and date a form including their Member # from their membership card. This signature certification is good for one (1) year and, per Ohio law, currently requires annual renewal. Parents and players will watch the video and sign a separate form.
