This week the AD’s Tip of the Week is Health and Safety of Student-Athletes. At the start of each athletic season the athletic director must insure that all coaches, parents and students have recently completed the concussion education requirements under SB38. All applicable concussion forms (coach, parent and athlete Concussion Information Sheet) and access to the NFHS Concussion Courses are available under “ADMIN HUB” menu, then click the “SPORTS MEDICINE” link on the NMAA web site.

NMAA Executive Director Sally Marquez will attend the Fall Regional Meetings around the state in conjunction with the Cooperative Educational Services. The NMAA encourages all Athletic Directors to attend a session in their area. This will be an opportunity for Athletic Directors to have an open forum type session with the NMAA Executive Director on issues and topics of interest to them. Please note that the September 19th meeting at the NMAA Office is not in conjunction with CES.
