CONCUSSION

A concussion, is a brain injury, caused by a bump or blow to the head. Even a "ding", "getting your bell rung”, or what seems to be a mild bump or blow to the head can be serious. You can't see a concussion. Signs and symptoms of concussion can show up right after the injury or may not appear or be noticed until days or weeks after the injury. If your child reports any symptoms of concussion, or if you notice the symptoms yourself, seek medical attention right away.

How can you help your child prevent a concussion?

Every sport is different, but there are steps your children can take to protect themselves from concussion.
Ensure that they follow their coach's rules for safety and the rules of the sport.
Encourage them to practice good sportsmanship at all times.
Make sure they wear the right protective equipment for their activity (such as helmets, padding, shin guards, and eye and mouth guards). Protective equipment should fit properly, be well maintained, and be worn consistently and correctly. Learn the signs and symptoms of a concussion.

What should you do if you think your child has a concussion?

Seek medical attention right away to get a health care professional’s opinion; how serious the concussion is and when it is safe for the child to return to sports.
Keep your child out of play. Concussions take time to heal. Don't let your child return to play until a heath care professional says it's OK. Children who return to play too soon-while the brain is still healing-risk a greater chance of having a second concussion. Second or later concussions can be very serious. They can cause permanent damage, affecting your child for a lifetime.
Tell your child's coach about any recent concussion. Coaches should know if your child had a recent concussion in ANY sport. Your child's coach may not know about a concussion your child received in another sport or activity unless you tell the coach.

What is the procedure for a suspected concussion?

Any athlete who is suspected of sustaining a concussion or head injury in a sport activity shall be removed from the activity at once and for the rest of the day.
Any athlete who has been removed may not return to play until the athlete is evaluated by a licensed health care provider trained in the evaluation and management of concussion and has received a written clearance to return to play from the health care provider.

Notify your child’s coach immediately, if you suspect your child has a concussion.
