Please find information on Concussion Protocols below, as well as medical and special needs forms that can be filled out and sent in with your child's enrollment.
Concussion Awareness:
A concussion is a type of traumatic brain injury, or TBI, caused by a bump, blow, or jolt to the head that can change the way your brain normally works. Concussions can also occur from a blow to the body that causes the head to move rapidly back and forth. Concussions can occur in any sport or recreation activity.
A concussion can have long term impacts on young athletes such as their health, memory, learning and even their survival. This has led to a new effort to improve prevention, recognition, and response to sports-related concussion.
To help ensure the health and safety of young athletes, Recreation & Parks created an awareness campaign to offer information about concussions to coaches, parents, and athletes involved in youth sports.
The following are a list of symptoms that may suggest a concussion has occurred.
• Headache
• Confusion
• Difficulty remembering or paying attention
• Balance problems or dizziness
• Feeling sluggish, hazy, foggy, or groggy
• Feeling irritable, more emotional, or “down”
• Nausea or vomiting
• Bothered by light or noise
• Double or blurry vision
• Slowed reaction time
• Sleep problems
• Loss of consciousness
What To Do If You Think a Concussion Has Occurred?
1. Seek medical attention right away
A health care professional will be able to decide how serious the concussion is and when it is safe to return to play.
2. Do not return to play until medically cleared.
Concussions take time to heal. Don't return to play until a health care professional says it's OK. Return to practice is permitted only once staff receive a written release from a health care professional.
Children who return to play too soon while their brain is still healing risk a greater chance of having a second concussion. Second or later concussions can be very serious. They can cause permanent brain damage, affecting the injured student-athlete for a lifetime.
3. Inform all coaches about any recent concussions.
Coaches should know if an athlete has had a recent concussion. The coach may not know about a concussion in another sport or activity if he or she is not informed by the parent, guardian or athlete.
(c) Removal from play; written clearance required for return to play. –
(1) A youth athlete who is suspected of sustaining a concussion or other head injury in a practice or game shall be removed from play at that time.
(2) A youth athlete who has been removed from play may not return to play until the youth athlete has obtained written clearance from a licensed health care provider trained in the evaluation and management of concussions.
We pride ourselves on creating an inclusive environment and we do our best to accommodate most situations. To ensure a safe and high-quality experience for all participants and staff, please notify the Hospitality Staff of your child’s allergy, medical condition and/or any special accommodations that may be required upon enrollment so STC can provide the best support possible.
Please indicate any special circumstances under the medical notes in your online profile so our staff is aware prior to commencement of classes. In most cases, we request that a Medical Care Plan, signed by a healthcare provider, is on file for students with life-threatening allergies and/or medical conditions to ensure safe participation while in our facility. Each situation will be handled on a case-by-case basis, keeping in mind a safe and high-quality experience for all.
To assure your child’s safety, please be sure that the following are completed before the first day of registered activities at STC:
