Lindsay’s Law, Ohio Revised Code 3313.5310, 3707.58 and 3707.59 went into effect in 2017.

In accordance with this law, the Ohio Department of Health, the Ohio Department of Education, the Ohio High School Athletic Association, the Ohio Chapter of the American College of Cardiology and other stakeholders jointly developed guidelines and other relevant materials to inform and educate students and youth athletes participating in or desiring to participate in an athletic activity, their parents, and their coaches about the nature and warning signs of sudden cardiac arrest.

What is Sudden Cardiac Arrest?

A Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) occurs when the heart suddenly and unexpectedly stops beating, cutting off blood flow to the brain and other vital organs.  Sudden cardiac arrest is fatal if not treated immediately, most often by a defibrillator.

Who is Lindsay?

Senate Bill 252 is named for national heart health advocate and former Miss Ohio Lindsay Davis who suffers from a heart condition and has since dedicated her career to raising awareness of this potentially fatal condition.

Coaches Nathan Velican and Michael Sweeney coached the 4th Grade Girls Tournament through an undefeated showing at the Chardon Tournament March 17-18.

TRBL has been a mainstay of the Twinsburg community for many years.  So many people have volunteered many hours to make TRBL one of the best community youth organizations in Greater Cleveland.  We currently have a board of 18 individuals that are passionate about the youth and the game of basketball.  Many current board members have spent many years on the board.  If you are interested in learning more about our board, please send an email to twinsburgyouthbasketball@gmail.com
