Concussion Training
Coaches, Referees, Parents and Players!!!
New regulations have been put in place this year for all Coaches, Referees and Board Members to take Concussion Training. This has become mandatory by the EPYSA. The Falls Soccer Club will monitor and track concussion training.
For all coaches, referees and board members, please follow the Concussion Training link below. This is a free online coarse that takes about 1/2 hour to complete. There will be several questions throughout the course and a basic test at the end. Once complete, you will receive a certificate that you can print out. Please either email a copy of your certificate to fallssoccerclub@aol.com or turn it in during the monthly meeting at the township building.
Parents and Players are not required to take this test, but we highly encourage it
