Concussion in Sports

How Can I Recognize a Possible Concussion?

To help recognize a concussion, you should watch for the following two things among your athletes:

• A forceful bump, blow, or jolt to the head or body that results in rapid movement of the head.

AND

• Any change in the athlete’s behavior, thinking, or physical functioning.

Athletes who experience any of the signs and symptoms listed below after a bump, blow, or jolt to the head or body should be kept out of play the day of the injury and until a health care professional, experienced in evaluating for concussion, says they are symptom-free and it’s OK to return to play.

Remember, you can’t see a concussion and some athletes may not experience and/or report symptoms until hours or days after the injury. Most people with a concussion will recover quickly and fully. But for some people, signs and symptoms of concussion can last for days, weeks, or longer.

Weather updates:  Always check the website for updates, but do not count on only the website.  CCFA tries hard to have any cancellations updated by 3 PM.  If not you should report to your game or practice field the coaches and officials will have the final say if you play.  Remember football plays in rain, sleet and snow only thunder and lighting will stop games.  CCFA, Coaches and Officials will error in favor of all the players safety.

Here is the weather rule, which is the same for all high school sports:

“The rules are very clear in that, In the event you hear thunder, you must stop the (game/practice) for a minimum of 30 minutes.  If it thunders anytime during that stoppage, the clock resets and play cannot resume until 30 minutes of no activity has passed”.

Thank you
