The Nelson Soccer Association (NSA) is committed to providing a safe, inclusive, and supportive soccer environment. We recognize that player safety includes not only physical, but also emotional, environmental, and identity-based wellbeing.

Concussions are a serious injury that require prompt recognition and appropriate management. We’ve compiled key information and trusted resources for parents, players, coaches, and team officials, including what to do if a concussion is suspected, return-to-play guidelines, and concussion education.

Minor injuries are common; however, significant injuries or incidents (including suspected concussions) must be documented and reported.
All registered NSA players, coaches, and officials are covered under the BC Soccer Sport Accident Insurance Program for sanctioned activities.
Every player deserves to feel safe, respected, and supported. Learn about NSA’s child safety policies, codes of conduct, reporting procedures, and community resources that help protect the wellbeing of all participants, both on and off the field.
