This is not within our jurisdiction and therefore, we shouldn't be trying to keep kids out of the game, especially two games later. Each game we have the same procedure for the athletes. Players are inspected based upon the merrit of the rules for the day the game is played.

Thanks for the info guys, it was our decision to inform the coach that we was to return only after doctor approval, since was hauled away via ambulance. We just explained to the coach that players safty is paramount in the game and we intend to keep that the priority.

Excellent decision. Common sense prevails.

OOPS. Didnt' read and comprehend enough the first time I read the post. Didnt' realize games were being played on same day.

This is a tough one. First, why would his parents or coach allow him to come back after being hurt enough to be taken away via emergency vehicle? Second, that hospital must be pretty quick to get him back to the gams site so quickly.
