Does your child or family member play a contact sport in Virginia?

When playing a contact sport there is always the chance of getting a severe brain injury. Here are some preventative steps that can help reduce the risk of a severe brain injury in sports players:

Age: Children under 10 years of age should not play Tackle Football

Pre-Participation Physical Evaluation: Should always be given to ensure a person is physically able to handle the sport they want to play

Knowledge of Rules

Exercise: Strengthening muscles, especially in the neck

A coach should always inform players about the potential for brain injuries and how to know when a player has suffered a concussion. There should always be an emergency plan for each team in the event that a member is badly hurt or has suffered an injury. These plans of actions will help in preventing serious brain injuries.
