18. Physician Release • Please remember that your child could suffer a serious injury at anytime. • If your child does become injured and I deem it necessary for him to see a physician or you take him to see a physician, I cannot legally, or ethically, allow him to return to play without a licensed medical provider. • Communication is very important in your child’s health • Unfortunately, I cannot accept a letter from mom or dad stating it is okay for your child to play, unless of course you are a physician.

19. Concussion Must be cleared by a licensed medical provider Education Law, Chapter 7, and Protection of Youth Athletes, Part 13, Montana Code Annotates (MCA 20-7-1301 through 20-7-1304).

20. Concussion • NO ATHLETE SUSPECTED OF HAVING A CONCUSSION IS PERMITTED TO RETURN TO PLAY THE SAME DAY AND NO ATHLETE IS PERMITTED TO RETURN TO PLAY WHILE SYMPTOMATIC FOLLOWING A CONCUSSION. • This protocol allows for a gradual increase in the amount and intensity of activity during the return to play process following a concussion or head injury. The athlete is monitored for any concussion-like signs and symptoms during and after each exertional activity. IF AT ANY POINT DURING THIS PROCESS THE ATHLETE BECOMES SYMPTOMATIC, THE ATHLETE SHOULD STOP THE EXERTION AND BE RE-ASSESSED DAILY UNTIL ASYMPTOMATIC. ONCE ASYMPTOMATIC, THE ATHLETE SHOULD BEGIN THE RTP PROTOCOL FROM STEP 1 AGAIN. • The athlete should be monitored daily by the athletic trainer until asymptomatic and throughout the return to play process. There should be approximately 24 hours (or longer) allowed for each stage without return of any signs or symptoms prior to moving forward to the next stage.

21. Concussion RETURN TO PLAY STAGES: • Rest until asymptomatic (physical & mental rest) • Light aerobic exercise (e.g. stationary cycle, weight training without Olympic lifts) • Moderate aerobic exercise (i.e. jogging, weight training with Olympic lifts, etc.) • Sport-specific exercise • Non-contact training drills • Full contact training • Return to competition

28. Role of Parents -“Release Child to the Game” • A parent should realize that he/she is taking everything too seriously and has not released their child to the activity when: • They are trying to continue to coach their child when the athlete probably knows more about the activity than they do. • They are nervous before the child’s game • Have a difficult time bouncing back after their child’s team suffers a defeat. • Makes mental notes during a game so they can give their child advice at the conclusion of the game • Becomes verbally critical of an official or coach. • “Young people need models not critics!” • John Wooden

29. Role of Parents • Attend as many games as possible! • Do everything possible to make the athletic experience positive for your child and others! • View the game with team goals in mind. • Attempt to relieve competitive pressure, not increase it. • Encourage multiple sport participation. • Release your child to the coach and the team. • Look upon opponents as friends involved in the same experience. • Accept the judgment of the officials and coaches, remain in control. • Accept the results of each game, do not make excuses. • Demonstrate winning and losing with dignity. • Be an encourager. • Be a good listener. • Accept the goals, roles and achievements of your child.
