Ohio’s Return-to-Play and Lindsay Laws

The State of Ohio has enacted legislation designed to protect student athletes.  These laws require parents of student-athletes to view short training videos, which can be found on the Ohio Department of Health website (odh.ohio.gov).  The OAC believes strongly in the safety of all of its participants.  Parents of our participants must complete these trainings prior to entering their child into any OAC event.
