132. 2023 CONCUSSION INFORMATION FACT SHEET
134. Why am I getting this Information Sheet?
     You are receiving this information sheet because of California state law AB 2007 (effective January 1, 2017), which applies to youth sports organizations that offer any of the following sports: baseball, basketball, bicycle motorcross (BMX), boxing, competitive cheerleading, diving, equestrian activities, field hockey, football, full contact martial arts, gymnastics, ice hockey, lacrosse, parkour, rodeo, roller derby, rugby, skateboarding, skiing, soccer, softball, surfing, swimming, synchronized swimming, volleyball, water polo and wrestling. The law requires:
136. 1. an athlete who may have a concussion during practice or game to be removed from the activity for the remainder of the day. 2. any athlete removed for this reason provide a written note from a medical doctor in the management of concussion before returning to practice 3. a concussion information sheet to be signed by the athlete and parent/guardian and returned to their league/team before an athlete can start the season and begin practice. 4. all coaches and administrators receive training about concussions annually
138. What is a concussion and how would I recognize one?
     A concussion is a kind of brain injury. It can be caused by a bump or hit to the head, or by a blow to another part of the body whereby the force of the blow shakes the head. Concussions can appear in any sport, and can look different in each sport. Most concussions get better with rest and over 90% of athletes fully recover. However, all concussion should be considered serious. If not recognized and managed the right way, they may result in problems including brain damage and even death. Most concussions occur without being knocked out. Signs and symptoms of concussions may show up right after the injury or can take hours to appear. If your child reports any symptoms of concussion or if you notice any symptoms, seek medical evaluation from a medical doctor trained in the evaluation and management of concussion. If your child is vomiting, has a severe headache, or is having difficulty staying awake or answering simple questions, call 911 or take him/her immediately to the emergency department of your local hospital.
140. What can happen if my child keeps playing with concussion symptoms or returns too soon after getting a concussion?
     Athletes with signs and symptoms of concussion should be removed from play immediately. There is NO same day return to play for a youth with a suspected concussion. Youth athletes may take more time to recover from concussion and are more prone to long-term serious problems from a concussion. Even though a traditional brain scan (e.g. MRI or CT) may be “normal”, the brain has still been injured. Animal and human research studies show that a second blow before the brain has recovered can result in serious damage to the brain. If your athlete suffers another concussion before completely recovering from the first one, this can lead to prolonged recovery (weeks to months), or even severe brain swelling (Second Impact Syndrome) with devastating consequences. There is an increasing concern that head impact exposure and recurrent concussions may contribute to long-term neurological problems. One goal of this concussion program is to prevent a too early return to play so that serious brain damage can be prevented.
142. Signs observed by teammates, parents and coaches may include:
     • Appears dazed or stunned • Confused about plays • Forgets instructions • Unsure of game, score or opponent • Moves clumsily or awkwardly • Answers questions slowly • Slurred speech • Shows a change in personality or behavior • Can’t recall events before or after the injury • Seizures • Passes out
144. Symptoms may include one or more of the following:
     • Headaches • Pressure in the head • Nausea • Neck pain • Has trouble standing or walking • Blurred, double or fuzzy vision • Bothered by light or noise • Feeling sluggish • Feeling groggy • Drowsiness • Change in sleep patterns • Loss of memory • Tired or low energy • Sadness • Nervousness • Irritability • More emotional • Confused • Concentration problems • Repeating the same question/comment
146. Concussion Danger Signs: In rare cases, a dangerous blood clot may form on the brain in a person with concussion. An athlete should receive immediate medical attention if after a bump, blow or jolt to the head or body they exhibit any of the following sign:
     • One pupil larger than the other • A headache that gets worse • Repeated nausea • Convulsions or seizures • Unusual behavior • Increasingly confused, restless or agitated • Drowsy or cannot be awakened • Weakness, numbness or decreased coordination • Slurred speech • Cannot recognize people or place • Loses consciousness, even briefly
148. How is Return to Play (RTP) determined?
     Following a concussion, athletes may have difficulties with short and long term memory, concentration and organization. They will require rest while recovering from the injury (e.g. avoid reading, texting, video games, loud movies), and may even need to stay home for a few days. As the athlete returns to normal they may benefit from a reduced schedule, depending on how they feel. If recovery from the concussion is taking longer than expected, a further reduction in activity may be beneficial and may require further assessment by a medical doctor trained in the management of concussion. Concussion symptoms should be completely gone before returning to competition. A RTP progression involves a gradual, step-by-step increase in physical effort, sports-specific activities and the risk for contact. If symptoms occur with activity, the progression should be stopped. If there are no symptoms the next day, exercise can be restarted at the previous stage. RTP after concussion should occur only with clearance from a medical doctor trained in the evaluation and management of concussions, and a step-by-step progression program monitored by an athletic trainer, coach or other authorized person. Californian law states that return to play (full competition) must be no sooner than 7 days after the concussion diagnosis has been made by a physician.
150. Final thoughts for Parents/Guardians:
     It is well known that athletes will often not talk about signs of concussion, which is why this information sheet is so important to review with them. Teach your child to tell the coaching staff if he/she experiences concussion symptoms, or if he/she suspects that a teammate has a concussion. You should also feel comfortable talking to the coaches or administrators about possible concussion signs and symptoms you may be seeing in your child.
