Recognize. Coaches watch for the signs after any hit to the head or body: headache, dizziness, confusion, balance problems, sensitivity to light, or simply "not feeling right."
Remove. Any player with a suspected concussion comes off the field immediately and does not return that day.
Refer. Parents are notified right away and asked to have the player evaluated by a medical professional.
Return. A player returns only with written clearance from a medical professional, followed by a gradual return to full practice and play.
Coaches complete concussion training before the season.
