CONCUSSION POLICY

CONCUSSION POLICY

 LMVSC, Fall 2015 has  instituted a new Concussion Protocol.

All Coaches, Parents and Players are required to complete the Concussion test. 

 ****It is very important that TM's and Coaches forward this email to your respective team's parents!****

1. Coaches and Assistant Coaches must certify they have received Concussion Training.  This training must be equivalent to the training provided by the Centers of Disease Control (CDC).  The CDC has made available a 30 minute instructional video on the CDC website. Here is the link to that page http://www.cdc.gov/headsup/youthsports/training/index.html. If you have received formal training from a professional organization such as a Concussion specialist, please obtain documentation of that training and maintain it with other team documents.  Note that just reading about concussions is not enough to say you've taken training.

2) Parents and Players must review an information sheet (there is one for parents and a different one for athletes):

 Thank you in advance for taking the time to help ensure the safety of our kids.
