CONCUSSION PROTOCOL
Next Level Basketball has developed this protocol to address the issue of the identification and management of concussions for basketball participants
A safe return to activity is important for all participants following any injury, but it is essential after a concussion. The goal of this concussion protocol is to ensure that concussed participants are identified, treated and referred appropriately for return to play. Consistent use of a concussion management protocol will ensure that the participant receives appropriate follow-up in order to make certain that the participant is fully recovered prior to returning to full activity.
This protocol will be reviewed annually by Bob Foley. Changes and modifications will be reviewed and written notifications will be provided to all participants parents.

| Forgets events prior to hit | Problems concentrating | ||
| Forgets events after the hit | Problems remembering | ||

Any participant who exhibits signs, symptoms, or behaviors consistent with a concussion will be removed from activity and will not be allowed to participant in any activity until the participant has been examined by a medical professional and received written permission to participate.
