Concussion Safety
We utilize guidance and resources from the CDC’s Heads Up program, and all Head Coaches are required to complete the Heads Up training.
Here are some helpful tools for Parents and Coaches of young athletes, to help you prevent and properly respond to a possible concussion:
We know unexpected make up games are a hassle, so we do our best to play games as scheduled, if its safe to do so.
If games do need to be postponed, we’ll communicate that through an app notification, an email, and on social media. If you don’t hear an update from us, you should assume games will be played.
During the practice season, each Coach is responsible for making cancellation decisions for their individual Teams.
