When in Doubt, Sit Them Out.
The safety of our athletes is our highest priority. In accordance with TYFA requirements and best practices for youth sports, any athlete suspected of having a concussion or head injury will be immediately removed from participation and may not return the same day.
Before returning to practice or competition, athletes must:
-
Be symptom-free
-
Obtain written medical clearance from a licensed healthcare provider
-
Successfully complete a gradual return-to-play progression
Parents are expected to:
Report any head injuries, symptoms, or medical diagnoses to coaches immediately
Monitor athletes for signs of concussion after practices, games, and other activities
Follow all medical recommendations regarding recovery and return to participation
Common concussion symptoms may include:
Headache
Dizziness
Confusion
Nausea
Sensitivity to light or noise
Balance problems
Unusual fatigue or behavior changes
No game, practice, or championship is more important than an athlete's long-term health. NB Crusaders and TYFA are committed to protecting every athlete by putting safety before competition.
Safety First. Team First. Athlete First.
