Return to Play law. Therefore, all Ohio Tournaments are responsible to monitor and track compliance
with the concussion training requirements of the Return to Play law. It is required that each coach receive
approved concussion training prior to the Dayton World Soccer Games. Below you will find two links for the
Free Concussion Training. Once the training has been completed, a certificate can be printed. Please submit
