HB 3811 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to youth injury mitigation and information training for coaches and youth athletics personnel.

HB 3811, titled the "Coach Safely Act," requires youth sports associations (like school teams or community leagues) to mandate free injury prevention training for coaches and athletics personnel working with children under 15 in high-risk sports such as football, basketball, soccer, and cheerleading. The training focuses on practical steps to reduce serious injury risks during these activities. It specifically excludes athletic trainers, doctors, nurses, first responders, and other healthcare professionals with trauma training from these requirements. The bill aims to improve safety standards without adding liability to local governments or replacing existing medical staff at youth events.
