CONCUSSION INFORMATION 

The following information has been adapted from the Centers for Disease Control’s “Heads Up” concussion prevention program. This section has information to help protect yourself and others from concussion or other serious brain injury. Use this information at games and practices to learn how to spot a concussion and what to do if a concussion occurs. 

WHAT IS A CONCUSSION?

A concussion is a type of traumatic brain injury—or TBI—caused by a bump, blow, or jolt to the head or by a hit to the body that causes the head and brain to move quickly back and forth. This fast movement can cause the brain to bounce around or twist in the skull, creating chemical changes in the brain and sometimes stretching and damaging the brain cells. 

HOW CAN I SPOT A POSSIBLE CONCUSSION? People who show or report one or more of the signs and symptoms listed below—or simply say they just “don’t feel right” after a bump, blow, or jolt to the head or body—may have a concussion or other serious brain injury. 

SIGNS OBSERVED BY PARENTS OR COACHES A subject appears dazed or stunned; Forgets an instruction, is confused about an assignment or position, or is unsure of the game, score, or opponent; Moves clumsily; Answers questions slowly; Loses consciousness (even briefly); Shows mood, behavior, or personality changes; Can’t recall events prior to or after a hit or fall. 

SYMPTOMS REPORTED BY PLAYERS Headache or “pressure” in head; Nausea or vomiting; Balance problems or dizziness, or double or blurry vision; Bothered by light or noise; Feeling sluggish, hazy, foggy, or groggy; Confusion, or concentration or memory problems; Just not “feeling right,” or “feeling down.” 

WHAT ARE SOME MORE SERIOUS DANGER SIGNS TO LOOK OUT FOR? In rare cases, a dangerous collection of blood (hematoma) may form on the brain after a bump, blow, or jolt to the head or body and can squeeze the brain against the skull. Call 9-1-1 or take the subject to the emergency department right away if, after a bump, blow, or jolt to the head or body, he or she has one or more of these danger signs: One pupil larger than the other; Drowsiness or inability to wake up; A headache that gets worse and does not go away; Slurred speech, weakness, numbness, or decreased coordination; Repeated vomiting or nausea, convulsions or seizures (shaking or twitching); Unusual behavior, increased confusion, restlessness, or agitation; Loss of consciousness (passed out/knocked out). Even a brief loss of consciousness should be taken seriously. 

WHAT SHOULD I DO IF MY CHILD OR TEEN HAS A POSSIBLE CONCUSSION? As a parent, if you think your child or teen may have a concussion, you should: 

1. Remove your child or teen from play. 
2. Keep your child or teen out of play the day of the injury. Your child or teen should be seen by a health care provider and only return to play with permission from a health care provider who is experienced in evaluating for concussion. 
3. Ask your child’s or teen’s health care provider for written instructions on helping your child or teen return to school. You can give the instructions to your child’s or teen’s school nurse and teacher(s) and return-to-play instructions to the coach and/or athletic trainer. Do not try to judge the severity of the injury yourself. Only a health care provider should assess a child or teen for a possible concussion. Concussion signs and symptoms often show up soon after the injury. But you may not know how serious the concussion is at first, and some symptoms may not show up for hours or days. The brain needs time to heal after a concussion. A child’s or teen’s return to school and sports should be a gradual process that is carefully managed and monitored by a health care provider. 

HOW CAN I HELP KEEP PLAYERS SAFE? Sports are a great way for children and teens to stay healthy and can help them do well in school. To help lower players’ chances of getting a concussion or other serious brain injury, you should:
Help create a culture of safety for the team. Work with their coach to teach ways to lower the chances of getting a concussion. Talk with players about concussion and ask if they have concerns about reporting a concussion. Talk with them about their concerns; emphasize the importance of reporting concussions and taking time to recover from one. Ensure that they follow their coach’s rules for safety and the rules of the sport. Tell athletes that you expect them to practice good sportsmanship at all times. 

When appropriate for the sport or activity, teach athletes that they must wear a helmet to lower the chances of the most serious types of brain or head injury. However, there is no “concussion-proof” helmet. So, even with a helmet, it is important for everyone to avoid hits to the head. 

I HAVE READ THIS AGREEMENT, FULLY UNDERSTAND ITS TERMS, UNDERSTAND THAT I HAVE GIVEN UP SUBSTANTIAL RIGHTS BY SIGNING IT AND HAVE SIGNED IT FREELY AND WITHOUT INDUCEMENT OR ASSURANCE OF ANY NATURE AND INTEND IT TO BE A COMPLETE AND UNCONDITIONAL RELEASE OF ALL LIABILITY TO THE GREATEST EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW AND AGREE THAT IF ANY PORTION OF THIS AGREEMENT IS HELD TO BE INVALID THE BALANCE, NOTWITHSTANDING, SHALL CONTINUE IN FULL FORCE AND EFFECT.
