Concussion Protocol:
Once receiving clearance from their doctor, the following steps will be put into place during each PRACTICE day:
Step 1/Day 1 - Light aerobic excerise. 5 to 10 minutes light jog/walk
Step 2/Day 2 - Moderate running to increase head movement
Step 3/Day 3 - Heavy non-contact such as non contact drills and conditioning
Step 4/Day 4 - Return to control practice. Hitting allowed but monitored closely
Step 5/Day 5 - Return to games
NOTE: Each Step is to be completed at a practice day. No multiple steps in one day. If the player's symptoms or new ones appear, send back to the doctor and restart the 5 steps.
