MANDATORY COACHESCONCUSSION TRAINING (CATT)A friendly reminder that all coaches, managers, and assistants must complete the Concussion Awareness Training Tool (CATT). BCSS has mandated this free training for all who work in youth sport. Access the course at cattonline.com. BCSS staff have conducted an audit of coaches that have completed the CATT training relative to coaches that have been added to rosters in STARS and noted that several coaches don’t have the required CATT certification. BCSS will be monitoring this throughout the school year and coaches that don’t have the required CATT will be deemed ineligible to coach until the training has been completed and verification sent to BCSS.
