New
law addresses concussions in school sports
Parents of student
athletes should be aware of the new state law that helps
them, their children and school staff recognize, prevent and
treat concussions and head injuries.
 A
concussion is a type of traumatic brain injury, caused by a
bump, blow or jolt to the head that can change the way the
brain normally works. Concussions can also occur from a blow
to the body that causes the head to move rapidly back and
forth. Even a ding, or what seems to be a mild bump or blow
to the head, can be serious.
Most people who suffer a concussion do recover quickly,
however, in more severe cases, a concussion can be fatal.
Unlike a broken bone or a laceration, outward signs of a
concussion can't be seen. By learning to identify the
symptoms and danger signs (pdf),
coaches, teachers and parents can help keep children safe.
