Coaches,

 After you complete the online training you will view a certificate that states you completed the course. Please print  two copies of the certificate. One for you to keep and carry when coaching a game and one to be sent to us or turned in to the travel director or recreation  director.  You may email  or snail mail the certificate. To snail mail please send a copy of your certificate to Mt. Laurel United Soccer Assoc. 3111 Rt 38 #11 Suite 134 Mt. Laurel , NJ 08054

Thank you.

The Legislature of the State of New Jersey passed a bill to raise the awareness of concussions amongst youth athletes. This bill requires coaches to have head injury safety training to help in the recognition of concussions

To support this effort, the following was agreed to at the New Jersey Youth Soccer Board of Directors meeting of August 19, 2011 concerning Concussion Awareness Training.

By October 15, 2011 all coaches will be required to have taken the online Concussion Awareness Training and be able to present their certificate they receive from taking the course.

All clubs will certify to NJYS by October 15, 2011 that their coaches have complied with the Concussion Awareness Training requirement and are able to produce a certificate. The required certification will be via a form that will be available on the NJYS website and will be similar to the KidSafe Club Certification Form that now exists.

All coaches will have the certificate with them when they are coaching. This requirement pertains to both travel and recreation coaches.
