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.

Further information on the NYS Concussion Protocol is available at www.NYSPHSAA.org.
