The Alabama Coach Safety Act requires all volunteer youth coaches and athletics personnel for athletes aged 14 and under to complete an annual injury prevention and safety training course approved by the Alabama Department of Public Health. The course covers emergency preparedness, heat-related injuries, physical conditioning, concussions, and heart conditions. The Act, which became law in 2018, mandates annual training to protect young athletes, with organizations responsible for ensuring their coaches’ compliance.
