Concussion

All concussion guidelines have been updated by the ECB for the 2024 season in accordance with the Government UK Concussion Guidelines forNon-Elite (Grassroots) Sport  

We recommend that clubs appoint a lead volunteer on concussion guidelines and complete this free ECB training module

You can find ECB Concussion resources HERE on the ECB website.

There is a handy pocket concussion recognition tool that can be printed off and distributed across key volunteers.

HERE is a poster that can be displayed at your club, on your website and shared with parents as clear guidance on concussion protocol.

 HERE are a full range of downloads that you may choose to share or publicise at your club, including a CHILD SPORT CONCUSSION ASSESSMENT TOOL  and an ADULT SPORT CONCUSSION ASSESSMENT TOOL

Here is a Parent and Player Concussion Fact Sheet you can include in your junior membership promotional materials.

Here is a Return To Play Guide for Adults and Children

At all levels in all sports, if an individual is suspected of having a concussion, they must be immediately removed from play. IF IN DOUBT, SIT THEM OUT!
