This is from the 2012 AAU Girls' Basketball Handbook:

Quote:
The official rules for grades 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th are the 2011-2012 (sic) NCAA Women’s Basketball rules unless otherwise stated in this online handbook.
For those who don't know, the NCAA doesn't have a concussion rule. The only requirement is an institution has a "concussion plan." However, the following is in Appendix VII of the rule book:

Quote:
An athlete who exhibits signs, symptoms, or behaviors consistent with a concussion, either at rest or during exertion, should be removed immediately from practice or competition and should not return to play until cleared by an appropriate health care professional.
So we don't have to remove them - since it doesn't say shall - but if we do the return process is basically the same as NFHS. Erring on the side of caution with an injury is never a bad thing so keeping the player on the sidelines if a doctor can't give the okay seems just fine.
