Wis. State Statute dictates that at the beginning of a season for a youth athletic activity, the person operating the youth athletic activity shall distribute a concussion and head injury information sheet to each person who wishes to participate in that youth athletic activity. No person may participate in a youth athletic activity unless the person returns the medical consent form signed by the person and, if he or she is under the age of 19, by his or her parent or guardian.
