  Youth Athlete Sports Concussion Law and Requirements

  
  Beginning with the 2010 youth track and field season all coaches, parents and athletes must read and comply with the new Washington State Law regarding treating youth athletes that may suffer a concussion while participating in sports practices and meets. In order for PNTF to be in compliance and receive permission to use some facilities the following must be completed:
  · All coaches must view the tutorial on youth sports concussions. You can view the video at http://www.mywiaa.org/lystedt/default.htm. Once you have completed the tutorial please download two certificates, fill out and keep one with you at all practices and meets. Send the other one to your Club Administrator for file.
  · All parents and athletes must read and sign the Parent/Athlete information sheet. Club administrators must keep a form on file for all athletes registered with your club.
  · If you desire to obtain additional information on the Youth Concussion Law please visit www.cdc/gov/concussionYouthSports/
  · Questions: contact Patti Petesch, patti.petesch@seattle.gov

New Background Check Procedure

Just a reminder to all the clubs to get their background checks done by May 1st.
Checks must be completed for coaches, administrators, and anyone who
spends alone-time with an athlete (i.e. chaperones). Background checks need to be completed annually and are good for a calendar year (January-December).

The service that we we're using is TClogiQ and it's available online
through the USATF website. There will be a cost of $8 per check, but
the Youth PNA will reimburse you/your club so hold on to your receipt.

Procedure for background check:

1) buy a USATF membership at http://www.usatf.org/membership/?sc=TM
2) Go to http://www.usatf.org/about/programs/ to fill out the
background check.
3) Click "Criminal Background Check Program" (make sure your pop-up
screen blocker is off)
4) Click on "Begin Your Background Screen"
5) If you are a returning coach you must log-in to your account

Once you're done, you will receive confirmation via email from TClogiQ
within 24 hrs and your name will be listed on the USATF website
which is also accessible from our PNTF website.
