CONCUSSION INFO & ADVICE
Concussion is a brain injury - It is serious and should be treated as such. The days of shaking off a head knock in sport and carrying on regardless are thankfully in decline with most sports now using head injury and concussion protocols & assessment tools. In any sport if head injury or concussion is suspected then the injured participant must be withdrawn, it’s simply not worth the risk. If in doubt sit them out!
