Concussion Protocol
St. Teresa follows established concussion guidelines to protect the long-term health of student-athletes.
If a concussion is suspected, the student-athlete will be removed from participation immediately and evaluated according to current medical recommendations. A student may not return to practice or competition until medically cleared and all return-to-play requirements have been completed.
Parents are encouraged to notify the school of any concussion diagnosed outside of school-sponsored activities.
