The screening must be obtained prior to participating in any practice, scrimmage or game. Marshfield Clinic Health System Sports Medicine may provide comprehensive sports fitness screenings at a location near you.

The law also provides that parents, coaches and athletes sign a statement declaring they have received and understand the information.
Here you will find information about concussions and links to resources for coaches, athletes and families to help satisfy the requirements of the new law.
