Ohio Concussion Law
Ohio’s Return-to-Play law (ORC 3313.539 or ORC 3314.03) requires that Ohio youth athletes who are suspected of sustaining a concussion, MUST be removed from practice or play. Ohio laws prohibit a child to return to play (practice or competition) on the same day that he/she is removed on suspicion of having sustained a concussion. Learn more about Ohio’s Return-to-Play law.
When a player takes a blow to the head from the ball, body part or ground, referees should look for these common concussion symptoms listed below. If a concussion symptom is observed, the referee should tell the coach that the player cannot return to the game(s) that day.
- Headache
