CONCUSSION BASELINE TEST
OLM ATHLETICS CONCUSSION POLICY
All student-athletes are required to take a baseline concussion test using the IMPACT program. This test must be completed prior to the start of the season in order for the athlete to be cleared for competition. The IMPACT Baseline Test is valid for one full school year, so each student-athlete need take it only one time per school year.

WHEN A CONCUSSION IS SUSTAINED
Athletes in all sports are required to follow the New York State “Return to Play” protocol in order to be reinstated to participation following the diagnosis of a concussion. This requires a coordinated effort among the Athletic Director, Athletic Trainer, and School Nurse, as well as the athlete’s primary care physician. All athletes and parents are required to read and sign the NYS Scholastic Athlete Fact Sheet on Concussion before interscholastic permission will be permitted.
