Concussion Fact Sheet
As part of the club’s focus on player safety, we want all parents (and players of appropriate age) to review the concussion fact sheet link below on head injuries and concussions, which has been prepared by Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta. Beginning January 1, acknowledging that you have received this information will be a required part of registration each season, in compliance with the recently passed Georgia state law, “Return to Play Act of 2013”.
The link below is to CHOA’s concussion webpage, which includes more information on this topic. There is also an option to set up baseline neurocognitive testing through CHOA. Information about baseline testing is available at this CDC weblink, http://www.cdc.gov/concussion/sports/baseline_test.html, which is another good source of information on this topic.
