Important notes from training
Coaches must remove an athlete from the activity for the rest of the session if they exhibit signs, symptoms or behavior consistent with a concussion and/or are suspected of sustaining a concussion.
The law requires a doctor's signature to return to play if an athlete is removed due to a concussion or is showing signs or symptoms of a concussion.
