CONCUSSION PROTOCOL

Athlete safety is our number one priority.

Toronto Elites Ultimate follows the Return to Play protocols for any athlete suspected of or has any signs or symptoms of a concussion. These protocols are intended to provide safe guidelines for athletes and parents to follow to facilitate a safe return to school and participation in sports following a concussion injury.

Several research studies and guidelines were utilized to create these protocols, including the Zurich 2012 concussion consensus statement, Canchild guidelines for returning to school, Thinkfirst documents, and research from the University of Toronto sports medicine clinic.

Return to Play is a six-step process designed to help ensure athletes receive the best post-concussion care. The goal is to have athletes return to their regular daily activities (school, social life, etc.) safely and timely. Below is a summary of the Return to Play protocol. If your son/daughter has suffered a suspected concussion, please get in touch with us ([email protected]). We will provide you with additional details/action steps.
