How it is written, if a student-athlete suffers a concussion, they are not allowed to practice or compete until they are clearing by a medical professional trained in treating concussions.
On the website listed above, I am not seeing anything concerning official resources, it wouldn't surprise me however if the WOA does have something.
The CDC resource sheets also state that the student-athlete needs get approval from a medical professional to return to competition/practice after suffering a concussion. |
I'm sorry if I'm coming across rudely, but you've told us about this law at least three times now. What is it that you need to know from this officiating forum?
johnnyrao,
As others have said, the only time we need a doctor's note is when the player has been unconscious.
