The SmartTeams Head Injury Safety Center is the first in a series of websites to be launched by MomsTeam Institute, Inc. (“MTI”) as part of MTI’s SmartTeams Play Safe™ program, which will be the first national program to aggregate and disseminate comprehensive, evidence-based sports health and safety best practice standards and benchmarks for sports safety; provide an interactive, voluntary self-audit and safety certification program to assure safety-conscious parents that their child’s program is following best health and safety practices; and incorporate the International Safeguards for Children in Sports to help guide sports programs towards a safer sports experience for their athletes.
It is made possible, in part, by a grant from the National Collegiate Athletic Association and the Department of Defense under their Mind Matters Educational Challenge.
