__________ __________ ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF RISK: I understand and acknowledge that participation in inter- Parent/Guardian Student scholastic sports teams/clubs and events is voluntary and by its very nature possesses an actual or potential risk of emotional and physical injury/illness, which may range in severity from minor to long term catastrophic injury, up to permanent paralysis or death. While it is not possible to eliminate this risk, Students have the responsibility to help reduce the chance of injury. Students must obey all safety rules, report all physical problems to their coaches or supervisors follow a proper conditioning program and inspect equipment daily. Parents/Guardians or Students who do not wish to accept this risk should not sign this form.

I understand that this medical evaluation is general in nature and only performed for purpose of determining fitness for athletics. In case of an emergency or accident on/off school grounds during any school activity or athletic event, which in the opinion of school authorities requires immediate medical or surgical attention, I hereby grant permission to physicians, consulting physicians, certified athletic trainers, emergency medical technicians, and other healthcare providers selected by school authorities to provide medical care and treatment (including hospitalization if deemed appropriate) unless I am present and request otherwise or until I later request otherwise.

__________ __________ REVIEW OF ATHLETIC HANDBOOK (including Board Policy IDF-R Athletic Code of Parent/Guardian Student Conduct): I acknowledge that I have reviewed and consent to the guidelines of the Student/Parent Athletic Handbook, which can be found on the Athletics page of the Cobb County School District website (cobbk12.org), the local high school website, or by request of a hardcopy to the local high school.

I have read and understand the consequences of certain behavior(s) as outlined in the Code of Conduct.

________ _____ TRANSPORTATION AND TRAVEL: I acknowledge my understanding of the travel-related Parent/Guardian Student guidelines as outlined within the Student/Parent Athletic Handbook, including the responsibility of parent/guardian to arrange transportation when not District-provided.

STUDENT/PARENT CONCUSSION AWARENESS FORM SCHOOL: __________________________________________________________________________ DANGERS OF CONCUSSION Concussions at all levels of sports have received a great deal of attention and a state law has been passed to address this issue. Adolescent athletes are particularly vulnerable to the effects of concussion. Once considered little more than a minor “ding” to the head, it is now understood that a concussion has the potential to result in death, or changes in brain function (either short-term or long-term). A concussion is a brain injury that results in a temporary disruption of normal brain function. A concussion occurs when the brain is violently rocked back and forth or twisted inside the skull as a result of a blow to the head or body. Continued participation in any sport following a concussion can lead to worsening concussion symptoms, as well as increased risk for further injury to the brain, and even death. Player and parental education in this area is crucial – that is the reason for this document. Refer to it regularly. This form must be signed by a parent or guardian of each student who wishes to participate in GHSA athletics. One copy needs to be returned to the school, and one retained at home. COMMON SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF CONCUSSION

Headache, dizziness, poor balance, moves clumsily, reduced energy level/tiredness Nausea or vomiting Blurred vision, sensitivity to light and sounds Fogginess of memory, difficulty concentrating, slowed thought processes, confused about surroundings or game

assignments Unexplained changes in behavior and personality Loss of consciousness (NOTE: This does not occur in all concussion episodes.)

BY-LAW 2.68: GHSA CONCUSSION POLICY: In accordance with Georgia law and national playing rules published by the National Federation of State High School Associations, any athlete who exhibits signs, symptoms, or behaviors consistent with a concussion shall be immediately removed from the practice or contest and shall not return to play until an appropriate health care professional has determined that no concussion has occurred. (NOTE: An appropriate health care professional may include, licensed physician (MD/DO) or another licensed individual under the supervision of a licensed physician, such as a nurse practitioner, physician assistant, or certified athletic trainer who has received training in concussion evaluation and management.

a) No athlete is allowed to return to a game or a practice on the same day that a concussion (a) has been diagnosed, OR (b) cannot be ruled out.

b) Any athlete diagnosed with a concussion shall be cleared medically by an appropriate health care professional prior to resuming participation in any future practice or contest. The formulation of a gradual return to play protocol shall be a part of the medical clearance.

c) It is mandatory that every coach in each GHSA sport participate in a free, online course on concussion management prepared by the NFHS and available at www.nfhslearn.com at least every two years – beginning with the 2013-2014 school year.

d) Each school will be responsible for monitoring the participation of its coaches in the concussion management course, and shall keep a record of those who participate.
